WHY BACKPACK BEDS?
Dignity is a human right
IMAGINE YOU ARE HOMELESS
How would you want to be treated? You are homeless, you need shelter and something to carry your belongings. With this, came invention: a 'Backpack' with storage that rolls out into an all-weather protected 'Bed'.
One or a combination of these factors can lead to someone becoming homeless. Sometimes homelessness can occur due to someone moving to a new area and losing their job, and not having any support to help. Other times it can be something as simple as not being able to afford housing.
Homelessness can affect anyone at any time. The tiniest life change can cause someone to lose everything they have in a blink of an eye. It's a terrible place for anyone to be in as you will never know what will happen to you on the streets.
Whatever the reason - people are sleeping on our streets need immediate shelter to survive.
