They Walked Past These Homeless People, But They Didn’t Realize Who They Really Were

The sad reality that people facing homelessness have to deal with is the fact that they’re almost invisible to passersby. Even when they reach out for help, many of us just go about our business without giving them a second thought.

And that’s why this experiment conducted by Upworthy is so heartbreaking. The people in the following footage thought that they were doing the same thing they did every other day as they walked by people in need. When the homeless people revealed their identities to them, however, it rocked their worlds.

(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = “//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3”; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, ‘script’, ‘facebook-jssdk’));

This clever social experiment shows just how invisible the homeless are in our society. (via Make Them Visible- MTVF)
