Tony is homeless in Vancouver , Canada.

When I started out walking today in the Vancouver rain, I didn't think I would run into anyone sleeping rough. Normally people experiencing homelessness get out from the wet and stay inside at mall locations or fast food restaurant.

Tony grew up far north of Vancouver and says this weather is not that bad here. To me, homelessness is horrible no matter the climate, yet I can't fathom surviving out in this cold.

Tony was inside a building complex that didn't have electricity or water. The place was what Tony and another man told me worse than homelessness.

Tony's three wishes: good music all of the time, happiness and laughter.

About Invisible People:

Since its launch in November 2008, Invisible People has leveraged the power of video and the massive reach of social media to share the compelling, gritty, and unfiltered stories of homeless people from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. The vlog (video blog) gets up close and personal with veterans, mothers, children, layoff victims and others who have been forced onto the streets by a variety of circumstances. Each week, they’re on InvisiblePeople.tv, and high traffic sites such as YouTube, Twitter and Facebook, proving to a global audience that while they may often be ignored, they are far from invisible.

Invisible People goes beyond the rhetoric, statistics, political debates, and limitations of social services to examine poverty in America via a medium that audiences of all ages can understand, and can’t ignore. The vlog puts into context one of our nation’s most troubling and prevalent issues through personal stories captured by the lens of Mark Horvath – its founder – and brings into focus the pain, hardship and hopelessness that millions face each day. One story at a time, videos posted on InvisiblePeople.tv shatter the stereotypes of America’s homeless, force shifts in perception and deliver a call to action that is being answered by national brands, nonprofit organizations and everyday citizens now committed to opening their eyes and their hearts to those too often forgotten.

Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to changing the way we think about people experiencing homelessness.
