Homeless Since Age 5

This new video comes from Mark's InvisiblePeople.tv 30-city, 11,000-mile, 75-day road trip, going on now.

Before Sandtago lived in a weekly rate rundown hotel he lived under bridges and in abandoned buildings.

I met Sandtago in Wichita, Kansas. He's 22 but has been homeless for most of his young life. Because of an abusive family situation, his first bout with homelessness was living in a car at 5. Can you imagine being homeless with nothing at 5 years old?

Please watch all of this short video. Even with all the challenges Sandtago fights hard for a better life.

Special thanks to Wichita Children's Home
