Veronica Scott, despite being told over and over again, that her project would inevitably fail, started a company producing coats which are dual purpose, and can be turned into sleeping bags.
She was at that time a student and only twenty years old.
Her company now distributes the products to the homeless and ‘down and outs ‘ all over the USA and Canada.
Moreover, people stranded in difficult situations can work on this project, helping to make them to be self-sufficient again.
