What does homelessness really look like through the eyes of a child?
In this moving episode, we explore a story that redefines perception and compassion. A mother brings her 6-year-old daughter to volunteer at a church shelter, telling her they’re going to “see the homeless.” But after an afternoon of simply playing with other children, the girl turns to her mother and innocently asks, “Mommy, when are we going to see the homeless?”
Her question uncovers a powerful truth: homelessness doesn’t have a single face. It’s not just statistics or stereotypes—it’s families, children, and everyday people navigating hard times. This episode highlights how empathy is built through connection, how service can transform perspectives, and how replicable, community-based solutions can change lives.
Whether you're a parent, a volunteer, or just someone who believes in the power of human dignity—this story will stay with you.
