This hits incredibly close to home - I work in Brooklyn, very close to Dasani's school, and also teach computer science (through http://www.tealsk12.org/ http://www.tealsk12.org/) at a school nearby. Many of the locations in the article are familiar to me - and it breaks my heart to see that kids who are basically in my neighborhood are living like this. I would've loved for the article to have been followed up with a "here's how you can help" - it seems to me that the best thing I can probably do for kids like Dasani is donate money, but where and to who? A quick scan of Givewell didn't turn up any great leads for charities helping out with homelessness in the NYC area - does anybody know of any?
