There is a corruption inside of the police while the culture is. Chain years ago i discovered i could seen a little bit and did no harm and some guys in the neighborhood told me how to harmonize and we formed a group my brother 9 a couple more guys got out and we did the local talent shows in the schools and in the nightclubs in memphis. Blues a local star talent in the city of memphis. Well we sold everybody elses stuff you know to guys who already had records that we were so good im just saying their stuff you know so today went out and come out and work so hard so they gave us the 1st segment of the hour and we say we really got out the step and you know maybe saw just my dreams there. And then ill do ill believe 3 years always a plus a move. To Say Something like the song a song heard tiger. Oh maybe a Little Something deeper that you speak. Of the fleet of the nation the place in america you know you millionaire be going on there i have people. Coming up on top of the hour right now caught a plane. Galloping a very tough time trying. To keep peace in the same space and from time to time to. Leave us problem. So this is on the Breakfast Rescue Mission where the largest Free Service Provider of meals in philadelphia where the only Free Service Provider breakfast in the entire city. With their 400. 00 meals a day no matter what always. That includes breakfast lunch and dinner. And also we serve about 180. 00 all every single night we just need a place to sleep. Every single bed in this room that currently has a pillow on it is actually a physical person who has reserved this bed tonight so as you can see we really are almost completely full. Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission is 139 years old so there were actually quite a few Homeless Individuals in philadelphia at the time it was even way before the Great Depression yet there was a very large homeless epidemic in philadelphia. We dont perceive any government funding so that means that were completely independent of the strings that would come along with accepting any money from the government. We do this because we dont necessarily want strings but also if there is a giant budget cuts that like there were a few years ago we actually dont get affected because we have our entire revenue stream from individuals who are donating us money instead of. Through something that is so easily attained changeable like. Policy. So in the past few years in america weve had quite a difficult time with passing our budget that means that weve actually had a few weeks where our government shuts down because we just cant get it passed. That does become quite a problem for people who are relying on that money. Im. Good to know. That this is why i know some of the mentally ill will go home because that really hasnt happened. I got a call from a city or 20000000000. 00 surplus for Affordable Housing has a couple from the. Only guys to build gear is more motel. The you know i live on the street do a lot of water street she said you know all of the drama of it all so much so citizens would step forward and demanded that government Officials Police and cities is very much in the right course to give people wall street because at some point you have to help people help themselves. A lot of it is just the unfortunate fact that most people in philadelphia are only about 2 paychecks away from homelessness so that means you dont have a job for 4 weeks and then all of a sudden youre going to be homeless because you are literally living from paycheck to paycheck you need that next job in order to continue paying rent and if you dont pay rent then you will be evicted. From my perspective i really believe that the route to homelessness in philadelphia is the fact that. There is a very high population below the poverty line. A lot of people if you lose 2 paychecks thats not going to be a big deal but in philadelphia that is an extremely big deal for about 40 percent of the population. Anyone can become homeless a lot of people become homeless because of some sort of catastrophic event in their life maybe the medical bill was just too high or a fire in their house maybe a divorce or Something Like that could potentially cause homelessness. Was the most of all the more and so are you know the sad dollar the right of the survivor of. Welfare tough to see if. I was born versus movies or college graduate.

Back to go to church get my life back to god. Im trying to be the best person i can be a 2nd at a time david said it was nice of them you. Sometimes i mess up on the mistakes you know why i need help and i dont want to go by myself ill try most of mossads ive tried i understand what theyre going through and i can make their life a little bit more comfortable become the face of the homeless and have a platform in the fullest for the homeless and then let them know then that is really all self is less a selfish thing because its really not about me anymore its all about you know what can i do to make life better for somebody else having head that experience myself and theres a place captivates and then from.
