Homeless Man Learns to Code, Creates App for Carpooling

We all love a good story where there’s a happy ending, and I think this one is a perfect illustration of a happy ending. It’s about an app , or rather, the maker of an app, and how he came from being homeless to making his own app. His name is Leo Grand and he is still homeless, but with his determination he won’t be much longer, especially if you purchase his carpooling app, Trees for Cars.

Leo became homeless when he lost his job in 2011 and was “priced out of his neighborhood.”
