Born in the Bronx, New York, Murray’s life started off on a bad note. She was born to HIV-infected, drug-addicted, poor parents that were not able to provide for her. At nine years old, Murray found herself and her family living in an extremely dirty apartment. At the young age of 16, Murray was left alone once her mother died of AIDS. Her father also abandoned her, moving to a homeless shelter. She went to high school, but often found herself sleeping in subways, park benches, or at a friend’s home. Without a great education, Murray was able to graduate in only two years and was able to attend Harvard. Today, Liz is an inspirational speaker who speaks out about determination and how no matter how hard life is, you have to move on and continue to work your way through the battles. Many movies have been created about her life.

"she was living out of a truck in Colorado. She had no home, no money to her name, and was only making $75 a week – barely enough to survive. She was also 50 pounds overweight and had just broken up from an important relationship. As crazy as this may sound, Wendy decided to spend $50 out of the $80 that she had to pay for gas and drive to Arizona where her college community was located. She arrived in Arizona with $30, no place to stay and no job prospects. Why did she do that? She listened to her heart."

"Bob Williamson fled a broken home in Mississippi at age 17 to hitchhike around the country. He landed in Atlanta in 1970 at 24, homeless, broke, and addicted to heroin and methamphetamine. When he got a job there cleaning bricks for $15 a week, no one would have guessed that he would start a $26 million software company someday."
