Sleeping under cardboard boxes during the chill of the night on a wet and quiet side street can be a chilling experience. Most of us would never have experienced this, and would have no idea how difficult it is to still the cold from creeping into the bones and reminding you every second that Death is just a step away.
SNURK has taken a step towards helping homeless people who have experienced this numbing fear, and continue to experience it night after night. In an attempt to increase more awareness about the homeless and receive some funding to help get the homeless off the streets, SNURK has designed a cotton bedding set that looks like cardboard boxes. Named Le Clochard, the income generated from selling this product would help SNURK set up several housing projects to help youngsters on the street find work or education.

Sleeping under Le Clochard may make you look like you are homeless, but you are still going to be snugly warm and comfortable. Like their tagline says, you can buy Le Clochard from SNURK so that a homeless person doesn’t have to freeze to death sleeping under a cardboard box.
