Ted Williams c/o ABC

Ted Williams – A voice, an empty cup and God. During just another day in his life, holding a cardboard sign on the side of a highway in Columbus, Ohio, he was spotted by a reporter who videotaped him. Shocked by his amazing, smooth, sports announcer like voice, the reporter upload to YouTube and the rest is history. 

The former radio announcer is grateful for his second chance and has reunited with his mother after 10 years of silence between them. At 53, Williams is clean and ready for new beginnings… 

His positive attitude and gratitude are an inspiration. 

I’ve been living in New York long enough to have seen and encountered my share of homeless people. As Williams said, “Don’t judge a book by its cover, everybody has their own little story.” 

Their gloves may be torn and tattered holding a dirty cup, blessing God, and begging for change. Think about your parents, your kids, or potential kids and remember where you came from. What if your parent or child was homeless? Live and let live. Help out and know that what goes around comes around. 

Now, a man with a dream and an empty cup, has a voice and his voice has been heard!
