3:44 am
3:45 am
when i was ten years old i discovered i could seen a little bit and didn't know harmonies so some guys in the neighborhood told me how to harmonize and we formed a group my brother nine 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 you know in the city of memphis. well we sold everybody else's stuff you know the guys who already had records we were so good and we saying their stuff you know so today went out and come out and work so hard so they gave us the first segment of our families and we've got. to step in you know movie so i'm just like. andy and i would do all these things are songs impossible. to say something like the songs on earth.

3:48 am
rude more from. the rude mood also we serve about one hundred eighty all every single night we just need a place to sleep the room 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. on the breakfast rescue mission is one hundred thirty nine 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 don't perceive any government on. so that means that we're completely independent of the strings that would come along with accepting any money from the government.
3:49 am
we do this because we don't necessarily want the strings but also if there is a giant budget cuts that like there were a few years ago we actually don't 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 we've had quite a difficult time with passing our budget that means that we've actually had a few weeks where our government shuts down because we just can't get it passed. that does become quite a problem for people who are relying on that money.
3:51 am
3:52 am
is the. right choice 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 it two paychecks away from homelessness so that means you don't have a job for four weeks and then all of a sudden you're going to be homeless because you are literally living from paycheck to paycheck. that next job in order to continue paying rent. and you will. from my perspective i really believe that the root to homelessness in philadelphia
3:53 am
is the fact that. there is a very high population below the poverty line. a lot of people if you lose two paychecks and that's not going to be a big deal but in philadelphia that is an extremely big deal for about forty percent of the population. anyone can become homeless a lot of people become homeless because of some sort of catastrophic event in their life may be medical bill was just too high or a fire in their house maybe a divorce or something like that could could potentially cause homelessness.
3:54 am
