In this episode we feature the voice of Kevin Adler, the Founder and CEO of Miracle Messages. Kevin started Miracle Messages in honor of his uncle Mark, who lived on-and-off the streets for 30 years. Miracle Messages helps reunite families through helping community members who are unhoused to record short video messages to a family member. Volunteers, referring nonprofit and government partners or formerly homeless ambassadors help record the message. Then a network of volunteer digital detectives attempt to locate the unhoused person’s family to deliver the message. The digital detectives also work with the family and the unhoused person to facilitate a reunion. As of the recording of this episode Miracle Messages has facilitated over 325 family reunifications.
