This Homeless Man Sat Down At A Piano And Stunned The Crowd With His Beautiful Performance!

It’s a sad fact that most of the time, when we pass homeless people, we see them as useless non-contributors that need to be locked up or shuffled out of sight. We talk about homelessness all too often without actually putting a face to it. We don’t know the personal struggles and decisions of the homeless in our community. What we know is that they’re homeless, and that’s about all you can find out without asking.

A recent viral video of a homeless man in Sarasota, Florida, playing the piano has received millions of views and may be changing the world’s view on homelessness a bit.
