She Gave a Homeless Woman a Coat and Was Yelled At. What She Did NEXT Is So Inspiring!

Being homeless is a situation nobody should have to face.  It’s even worse when the weather presents another obstacle to overcome. Cold winter weather is unbearable at times and the homeless generally seek shelter; however, many end up sleeping on the street.

Veronika Scott Empowers Other Women to Become Independent.

Veronika Scott, CEO, and Founder of The Empowerment Plan spent time talking to people in homeless shelters. From her discussions, she started designing a coat that transformed itself into a sleeping bag.

After going through several designs and getting feedback, she was angrily confronted by a homeless woman that stated she didn’t need a coat, she needed a job. What Veronika Scott did next is incredibly inspiring and empowers so many women to contribute to such a worthy cause.
