MyBag, MyHome Homeless by Choice Tour is a 75 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.
