Google gives homeless free voicemail Posted: 5 months ago by AutumnLotus
Every homeless person living in San Francisco will be given a phone number and voicemail to help them get back on their feet, Google says. The internet giant has promised to provide the life-long services to the city's entire homeless population in order to help them get a job and build self-esteem.

I wish I could upvote Google!!!
I used to live in San Fran and it's amazing how many homeless people there are there. I have lived in major cities my whole life and never saw anything like it.
I have ALWAYS wondered how does one go from homeless to, well, NOT homeless. This could be such a huge help.
GG GOOGLE!!

Good for Google!
I love this company, and it's awesome to know they're trying to make the world a better place.
I also wish I could upvote google, but I guess so long as I keep using google it helps, eh?

Good on Google....
hopefully this will roll out across the US.
Perhaps some newly acquired self esteem will provide the impetus some of these homeless people need to attempt to get their lives back on track
