Man Builds Tiny House for Homeless Woman Sleeping in the Dirt (Video & Pictures)

Elvis Summers as deeply moved by Irene “Smokie” McGee’s determination to assist when he saw her sleeping on a dirt patch in front of his Los Angeles home. Summers used his carpentry skills to build a small residence for McGee after becoming increasingly aware of the growing trend of tiny house construction. Realizing that he lacked the most basic protection, such as a tarp or a box, Summers sprang into action.

After that, he got to work on building Maggie a small house that would be safe, make it easy for her to carry, and keep her belongings out of sight. David finished his project in 2015 after working on it for several days and dedicating himself to it. He recorded the entire process on video. He uploaded this video to YouTube after finishing the small house to raise awareness of homelessness and encourage viewers to assist those in their community who may be in greatest need.
