Jeffrey Gottshall: S.F. Homeless Man Reconnects With Family in Pennsylvania Via YouTube
As far as Jeffrey Gottshall's family knew, he'd been missing for more than 20 years.
He left his home in Montoursville, Penn. when he was 20 and has been documented as a missing person by authorities in Pennsylvania. But 2,747 miles away in the bustling town of San Francisco, Gottshall is seen everyday.
NearShot, the same local company that started the Homeless POV project last year, equipping homeless people with GoPro cameras, spent the Christmas holidays walking up and down Market Street, offering homeless people some tea and the chance to say a message to their loved ones via video. Kevin Adler, founder of NearShot, says he and one of his volunteers came across Gottshall who agreed to send a shout out to his family who he had not been in touch with for more than a decade.
Afterward, Adler posted the video to Facebook, and reached out to organizations and the Police Department in Montoursville, with some hope that Jeffrey's family might see it. They too posted the message from Gottshall on their Facebook page.
Little did Adler know that this Christmas video would become a life-changing moment for Gottshall and his long-lost family.
