Hakki Akdeniz
After emigrating to the United States at age twenty-one, Hakki found himself homeless on the streets of New York City—with no family or friends. Through hard work and an indomitable spirit, as well as the kindness of strangers, Hakki became a well-known restaurateur. Today, Hakki is a revered social entrepreneur who has made it his life mission to inspire others to overcome challenges and fulfill their own dreams.
“I wrote this book to motivate young readers to learn the importance of doing good deeds. It is all about living through giving. My goal is to help as many homeless people as I can, because I understand how it feels since I used to be homeless as well.”
