This may be one of the most amazing and real stories I have found, but you all must know that Brad and Scotty developed a relationship long before Brad allowed Scotty to live with his family.

Brad I’ve gotten to know over twitter. He’s always encouraging me. I spent a few hours with him my first day here, but Brad never told me about any of this. The next day I met Scotty outside an organization that feeds meals. We struck up a conversation and I instantly took a liking to him. He’s really a nice guy. When I dug deeper I found out Brad, who is now my new hero, took Scotty into his home.

I wish it was always this easy. I wish it was safe to simply take people into your home, and I wish that people had real compassion like Brad’s family does to actually do something about homelessness.

This is a wonderful story of friendship, compassion, and simple solutions to a very complex social crisis.
