Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story

I had the pleasure of going to the Beans and cornbread luncheon featuring Ms. Lizz in Amarillo Texa on Nov.2 Very powerful. She sure can catch your attention! I don't believe anyone left that day who was not touched in one way or the other.I am in a program that benefits from people like lizz who go out and campaign for the homeless and the need to reach out and help in ways we never thought possible. From a nice smile, doing someones laundry to giving half your uneaten meal to a guy on the streets. I have yet to see the movie but do plan to but seeing and hearing Ms. Murray has me motivated in ways that so many are sure to benefit from. Go lizz you are a true inspiration.

Hey Liz,
I watched Homeless to Harvard as a movie project for school. I used to think that nobody had a worst life than me. My brothers and sister always torture me and tell me what to do because I am smallest one in my family. They always got what they wanted and I didn't get what I wanted. I got a new i-pod but my sister uses it 'cause my dad said so.
When I think about and compare our life mine was nothing more than getting scratched and yours is like breaking a bone. Now that I think about it everyone has problems in their life. Some have small problems and some have big problems. What makes people happy and successful is not what kind of life they live? or how rich they are? What really makes people happy and successful is how they came over that problem they faced in their life.
My life would have been miserable if my English teacher hadn't showed us you life story. I would have still not recognized my problem and I would have hated my siblings but now I know that you should be happy for what you have rather than cry for what you don't have. I will try and show the movie to everyone I know so that way they can realise their problems and try to solve them rather than avoid them. I would really like to thanks Mrs. Links for showing me this movie.
Thanks,
Vaibhav Patel

Liz if you get this great movie and if your on myspace add me (myspace.com/aidgwinnettorg). I'm a volunteer there, running one of their myspace pages but also I'm a client of theirs (living with HIV). Your story is a great one that needs to be shared so I added a youtube video of yours on my page. Have a great day day and stay blessed -Jason , hopefully this will get to you.

Homelss To Harvard the liz murray story
is a warm and touching Movie to watch white your family

Thank you lifetime for bringing Liz's story into the public eye. So many people on this earth wallow in excuses about why they cannot succeed. Liz's story shows us all that our excuses are empty.

i have a disease, and school was a struggle for me as well, but i had the security of a mom and dad that cared... why so bashful? dont u know healing for others knows where that help stems from, i have decided even as a grown 36 yr old nurse with a disease that i too will never fit in, other nurses have no understanding why i will have chest pain jus to go give a sip of water to someone who may not be able to reach it, they laugh, sit on their rumps, play computer games while i half kill myself to make sure my patients are comfy and not laying in feces, urine, or vomit, they snarl and silently send their demonic growl at u b/c u care, they schedule u the worst pt's so they can play cuz they know u care, and then being weak myself (noncontagious) they are too busy eating fried chiken when a 300 lb patient needs to be repositioned, what trogents they are, how do they ever get a license?????????? u don't know what your story has done for me, my son's dad an uniterested addict, and you with both that way has caused something to awaken in me as i soB @ this PC .... i wish someone could hear my voice, i too always on the sidelines of life feel that sick children need inspiration.

dear liz hi im 17 im from ny my name is jeannie im just getting into high school my story is just like ur in so manys ways when i first saw ur movie it meant alot to me but until i couldnt go back to school and i couldnt go back to school for like almost 4 years it meant more me now . now that i know how it feels im relieved that theres is someone else like me i hope u write me at jeancios@aol.com .i hope u write to me because ive been looking someone to mentor me i really someone like u in my life cus i think u probably could understand me more than most .

Where can I contact Liz? She´s amazing, unfortunately many people don´t believe that her life is a world´s reality. Humans are just looking for us and fight for nothing detroying the world. Liz, I know is too hard that you read this comment but if you do this, please contact me hugotellez@gmail.com I´m in Mexico and I want to see if you can come to give a speech here.

You can get it on ebay

I saw Ms. Murray speak this week and found her story very inspirational. If you ever have the opportunity to see her, do not hesitate to go. She will not disappoint.

How do I obtain this film?

I am trying to get a copy of this movie. The copy that I have is a recorded copy on a VCR tape that is not the best quailty and I would love to buy a new copy of it. I am a teacher and have shown this movie to my students since it came out the first time on lifetime. My students absoultely love it and it touches all of them in more ways than any other movie that they have seen. Does anyone know how I can order a new copy, if so please e-mail me at spurlocks@whitehouseisd.org. I am not sure if anyone has had Liz to speak at their school, but if you have I would love more information about how to find out if she is still doing public speaking as an outreach. Thank you to anyone who has any helpful information. This is an amazing and powerful story. When my students get the opportunity to see the movie they are so glad that they got to here Liz's story and can not believe that it is a true story.

THE Bomb movie

Great story. I have seen it many times but would like my high school class to watch it. If Liz ever gets out this way, I am at Staunton River High School in Bedford Co. and teach an Individual Development class. I would like her to speak to the student body and maybe take a trip to the Children and adolescent unit of Carilion's Psychiatric Rehab.
Thank you for being brave anough to have the story, and also to re live it so many times so others don't have to.
I would like a copy to show my students. Where can I get one?

If anyone could help with this its much appreciated. I am a teacher at a high school in Massachusetts. My wife and I watched this movie approximatley two weeks ago. I am desparately trying to obtain a copy of the movie for my classes. This is a tremendous story and one I know will make a significant impact with these young people. The story was so incredibly moving on many levels she is now the subject of our next writing assignment.

What struck me was the compassion, perseverance, the circumstances she found herself in and the combination of obstacles Miss Murray had to overcome. If anyone has information on how to obtain a copy from Lifetime or an authorized distributor, please email me at Jbedard1963@yahoo.com. Any assistance is welcomed on behalf myself and all the students yet to be touched by this remarkable story. Thank you for anything you might be able to share.

I thought the movie was extremely touching.How can I contact Liz Murray if I would like to ask her to speak at company meetings for motivation?

i really enjoyed this movie and it made me cry..
