Orlando, FL — If you haven’t already seen it, you really should watch the Central Florida Commission on Homelessness’ new video series, branded #RethinkHomelessness. Here’s the one that’s been making the rounds on social media. It’s called “Cardboard Stories.” If features images of homeless people from around Orlando who were asked to write a message about their situation on a piece of cardboard to share with the world. The things they reveal about themselves are breathtaking – watch for the woman who says she gave up her children so they wouldn’t have to grow up homeless, and the man who holds a sign saying he’s recovering from open-heart surgery, then reveals the scars on his chest to the camera. Also, the guy whose sign says “I’ve built robots.”
