Kevin Adler is the founder of Miracle Messages, a nonprofit organization that puts feet on the ground to help the homeless reconnect with their family and loved ones - or in some cases just provide a voice to listen to them.
In this episode, we'll learn about Kevin's connection to family in Santa Cruz and how a single conversation inspired him to create this volunteer network that's now in its tenth year.
We'll also discuss and learn about the unintentional biases that many of us might have over the homeless issue, hear some of the success stories in his new book, “When We Walk By”, and we'll find out about some of the opportunities to volunteer and assist with Miracle Messages.
Want to be a volunteer with Miracle Messages or just learn more about this organization? Visit them at miraclemessage.org. You can also just pick up the phone and call them at 1-800-MISS-YOU.
You can also pick up a copy of Kevin's new book that documents the work he and his organization have done, at www.whenwewalkby.com.
