Generally when you see a subway performer with an open guitar case filled with dollars, you understand that they are making money from their singing. But in this case, Will Boyajian is giving away that money to others in need. With a sign letting people know they can take from his case, he is not only giving away dollars but hope, support and love by making it clear that he cares and he understands. And it is working…others are encouraged to give and those who are in a position where they need to take, are inspired to do what they can so that one day soon they can return that dollar along with others. It may look like Will doesn’t have a job if he is playing music in the subway station, but in truth, he has the most important job in the world.
