We’ve all heard stories where a person’s love and care can transform someone rough around the edges into a charming individual. Indeed, positivity can make a difference in the world.
In Sarasota, Florida, during an art event, a red piano was available for anyone to play. When an elderly man, whose face was dirty and weathered, approached to play, everyone was curious to hear his music.
His captivating tunes drew the crowd’s attention, but many were hesitant to get close to him due to his unkempt appearance.
However, a team from Inside Edition became intrigued by his performance and decided to step in and help.
The journalist, Richard Gould, a former Marine with a talent for playing the piano, reached out to him. The man, Donald, had a son he loved but hadn’t seen in years due to his struggles on the streets.
After hearing his story, the news team provided him with a meal, a shave, and a fresh haircut—something he hadn’t experienced in over 18 months. They also gifted him new clothes.
Delighted with his new look, Donald shared with the journalist his hopes of reconnecting with his son and the desire to earn a living on his own.
