The Hundred Story Home

The Hundred Story Home leads you on an inspirational journey that begins with a question, “Where are the beds?” and ends with over one hundred formerly homeless people living in homes of their own.
Author, Kathy Izard, was enjoying a comfortable existence when she came face to face with the reality that while her dedicated service at the community soup kitchen might be feeding her soul, it would never solve the bigger needs of the homeless population. Confronting the question of where are the beds? Kathy realized that she had been called to take on what seemed like an insurmountable task building housing for Charlotte’s homeless.
Woven together in this uplifting story of a call to social action is Kathy’s personal struggle with faith, forgiveness and fulfillment. In telling her story, Kathy invites you to consider what might be calling you and whatever it might be, big or small, **trust the whisper.**
