WATCH: Homeless People Read Mean Tweets About Being Homelessness

This is pretty heartbreaking.

We all know the drill of celebrities reading mean tweets about themselves, but one group decided to break down some stereotypes.

Canadian homeless charity Raising the Roof asked a group of service users to read out some of the narrow minded comments being made about homelessness on Twitter.

Mean tweets included:

‘I hate the homeless, I don’t feel sorry for you. If you want change, let me throw it at you as hard as I can, at your dirty face’ and comments about ‘yellow teeth’.

This might only be a minute and a half, but it’s incredibly heartbreaking.
