Hi Ardedia,

Thanks for visiting our site!

To answer your question. Yes, as you suggested, we want people to be aware of homelessness. Not to spoil too much of the show, but the homeless man plays in a scene where all the “middle class” characters passing by relentlessly complain about all their petty problems while completely ignoring the despair of the man sitting on the side of the street. When one of the characters actually notices the homeless man, some very interesting things happen…

I am not understanding the idea for the homeless person. Is this an idea for children to know what it is like or to know that it is happening? I just want to get an understanding for what is the concept behind it.

I commend you for using a real homeless person in your episode. It will give a true-to-life depiction of their personal experiences. I posted this on my FB wall and became a fan! I wish you much success with your endeavors.
