MyBag, MyHome Homeless by Choice Tour is a 300 City tour circling the United
States of America with a goal to inspire 100,000 youth to dream, not give up
on life, and understand the value of a higher education!
Roy Juarez Jr recently appeared on CNN with his mentor in a segment leading
up to Latinos in America. His spell-binding story caught the attention of
the well-established, New York Times bestseller, Chicken Soup for the Soul
series. In August of 2009, Roy’s Story was featured in their latest book
Chicken Soup for the Soul: Extraordinary Teens.
At the age of 14 Roy was a homeless teenager caring for his 9 year old
sister and 2 year old brother. After finding hospice for his younger
siblings, Roy packed a bag of personal items he called a home for two and a
half years. He “Couched Surfed” from home to home with whoever would take
him in. Today he is a college graduate from Hardin Simmons University and
president and founder of America’s Business Leaders- a human development
company.
Roy Juarez Jr. will be speaking at any educational facilities, shelters, and
organizations that are willing to open up their doors. He plans on “Surfing
the Couch” once again as he did as a homeless teenager, this time by choice!
He is asking families across the country to provide hospice, if possible.
