“Unfortunately, over the years, homelessness has faded into the background…almost becoming a part of daily life, but we’re here to shake things up, to remind everybody what a serious issue it is and how it can be eradicated. So let’s continue to spread the message, to come together and get this problem out of here!”-Kobe Bryant

      

         

Over 10,000 walkers came together on this bright Saturday morning to send a clear message that they were there for 50,000 people homeless in Los Angeles.
