I use to get a lot of media attention when i was just a homeless kid (go figure). San Diego's "North County Times" did a column on homeless shelters and i was the main feature, had a picture of me in there too (sympathy card i guess).
Father Joe (local homeless/social services advocate) would pimp me out quite a bit when i was a teen. Had me going on local radio shows every Holiday season to tell my stories in order to get more people to donate to his foundations. He even had me do a T.V commercial, which was rather embarrassing.
