Homeless Man Sleeps In A "Dumpster," But Wait Until You See What's Inside...

<div><p>Last year, Phil Sullivan and Shane Duffy found themselves sleeping on the streets of New York City. They weren't homeless, in fact they weren't even poor - Duffy is a contractor and Sullivan is a male model - it was all part of a social experiment for their new charity.</p><p>Duffy and Sullivan are the founders of I Am Supported, a charity trying to eliminate homelessness one person at a time. They scout out deserving people and organize online fundraisers to get them off the streets, with a promise that none of the money will be spent on booze or drugs.</p><p>The first person they singled out was Damian Cummings.</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/d3.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/d3_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>NY Post</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p></p><p>Through the 4 days and nights the men spent on the streets, Cummings looked after them, showing them where to eat and sleep. He even shared some blankets with them.</p><p>To reward Cummings, I Am Supported have organized a <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/iamsupported">GoFundMe page</a> for him, but they've also given him a new, comfortable place to relax.</p><p>The pair built a tiny home designed to hide in plain sight. It may look like a regular dumpster, but the wooden container has lights, solar panels, a window and USB ports. Despite all those bells and whistles, it only cost $1,500.</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/D1.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/D1_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>NY Post</cite></figcaption></figure></div><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/d2.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/d2_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>NY Post</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p>Plus, it's located in Soho, New York City's trendiest neighborhood. The only downside? Cummings says confused store owners try to throw their trash in his house.</p><p></p><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><div><div><div><amp-vimeo height="9" width="16" layout="responsive" data-videoid="212257827"></amp-vimeo></div></div></div><p>It's not perfect, but the home means a lot to Cummings. Not only is it a safe, warm place to sleep, but it also means he has a place to store his clothes.</p><p>Cummings works odd jobs during the day to support himself, and thanks to this home he never has to worry that someone will take his things.</p><p>To learn more about I Am Supported, <a href="http://www.iamsupported.org/">visit their website</a>.</p><p><strong>Share this post if you think this is a great idea!</strong></p></div>
