This was a wonderful book. There are a lot of insights in this book that I don't find in most other books of its type.

This was an enjoyable read! It really gave perspective and gave practical ideas that could easily be applied. I would recommend this book to others. I rated this book a 5/5 stars!

What a wonderful story, well told. Every page of this book inspired me to do more to help the people in my community. It's led to me beginning a new endeavor to help a homeless person in my area. The world could be such a better place if we all cared for the humans around us, instead of letting fear and apathy rule. Amazing story of a remarkable woman and the astounding impact she has had on countless lives. Thank you to the publisher and net galley for the opportunity to read and give my honest review.

Meant for More is a concise and well constructed book which reads as part memoir and part shared material for a non-profit. This book fits perfectly as a series of stories which would be helpful in fundraising and sharing at conferences and events related to the topic. Karen Olson is clearly a person who has centered helping others throughout her life, and she is able to share this narrative in a way that lands as thoughtful and curious. This book always feels like it is more about the needs of unhoused than it is about Karen Olson. This is a huge relief as a reader. Karen Olson constructs stories and utilizes personal experiences to turn the reader towards a population in crisis. In many similar books the author would take over the narrative with their self important view of their own work. Karen Olson never steps into that territory, and this is a major victory of this book. There can never be enough attention turned towards families and individuals who are unhoused and Karen Olson is a lifelong champion of this population. As material which can bring attention to the nonprofit itself I really enjoyed the stories shared by individuals throughout the book. These stories are well placed and tie the threads of the book together. This was a solid read about a great need.
