Every story has dignity and a uniquely human touch, but some stories are harder to tell than others.
When KOSU opened a studio in Oklahoma City’s Film Row district, we started working one block away from the City Rescue Mission and came in daily contact with the homeless community. We wanted to find a way to tell their story, a story that is mostly untold with dignity.
Now, with your help, we have an opportunity to do that. With the inspiration of programs like StoryCorps and Youth Radio, we are raising funds so the homeless community can tell its story in a very personal way.
KOSU will lend its expertise in radio and sound mixing, and your gift will help recruit members of the homeless community and buy recorders to allow them to tell their own stories. KOSU will then help them mix down the sound into a documentary that we will air and make available for podcast.
Our goal is to raise $2,500 for this project and we're doing that through PhilanthroPete.org, a collaboration with OSU Foundation.
We hope you'll help us be able to tell the story of Oklahoma City's homeless population with your monetary support. Thank you.
