Hello Social Impact Game Gurus!

We (Kindling Group, See 3 Communications & futurePerfect lab) launched a fundraising campaign on indiegogoe for @home, a documentary film and “game for change” that shine light on homelessness in America.

There are ONLY 10 MORE DAYS to donate to this important campaign, featured on indiegogo yesterday: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/at-home-campaign.

Here's a glimpse at the @home game, after we participated in a 48 hour Hack-a-thon sponsored by POV/PBS: http://bit.ly/16MYYtF

@home follows the story of Mark Horvath, aka @hardlynormal, a formerly homeless man turned e-advocate for the homeless, as he travels the U.S. recording web videos with the homeless men, women, and children he meets along the way.

Want to learn more about Mark’s fascinating story? Watch the trailer!

Please check it out, give what you can, and pass it on (using hashtag #athome)!

This project is especially critical at this juncture. As the debt ceiling and sequester continue to loom, services and programs for the homeless are on the chopping block -- and @home is poised to make sure this issue doesn’t get put on the back burner.

Questions? Email me (he...@futureperfectlab.com).

Want to help spread the word? Tweet, post to Facebook, or chat @home up around the water cooler.

Here's some language:

The @home indiegogo just launched! Every year an estimated 2.5 to 3.5 million people find themselves living on the street or in a shelter. Help put this invisible crisis on the front burner. Check out the @home project and show your support. http://bit.ly/10RwqfL
 
Post #2:
On any given night in the U.S., 633,782 people are homeless — a population equivalent in size to Charlotte, Forth Worth, or Columbus.  But a movement to solve homelessness is building. Check out the @home project to see what you can do to be a part of that solution, and chip in now! http://bit.ly/10RwqfL

AND FINALLY,  PLEASE chip in and help make this project reality!
