Carry The Fire: A Message of Hope
Carry The Fire aims to create a beacon of hope for those who need it. My mission is to support the unhoused and inspire people that life continues to have unlimited potential despite any misfortunes along the way.
The Mission
The goal is to analyze the history of homelessness, address what the problem truly is, and provide a solution, my soultion being raising as much awareness and spreading as much information as possible, being a link between the community and the shelters themselves.
Origins
After stumbling upon The Road, by Cormac McCarthy, I was inspired by its message. The whole book is a story of a father preparing to die and leave his son to live in a desolate world alone. The father wanted to leave behind a message of perseverance. A simple, yet impactful, message: “Carry the Fire.”
The Plan
What I plan to do is to create an AI that focuses on taking data that I gather from homeless shelters, and turns them into ads that are convincing enough for people to come into the shelter. I plan to develop the AI to make the ads as “human-like” as possible.
Biblical Foundation
My project is biblically founded on 1 Peter 4:10-11, which says “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.” I am using my talent and passion towards the unhoused community to create support and awareness for them.
History of Homelessness
My research has led me to believe that one of the major causes of homelessness is the result of mental health conditions, which is the main problem I am attempting to address.
Various studies have been conducted on the issue…
Shelters are open and available for help in the LA area… reaching out is encouraged
