“Many people are hungry not for bread only, but they are hungry for – love. Homelessness is not only not having a home made of bricks but homelessness is being rejected, unwanted, unloved, uncared for. (A longing) for somebody to smile at them, somebody to recognize them, somebody to wish them well.”

– Mother Teresa
