In 2 days this guy went from living on the streets to getting a second chance at life.

It makes me afraid for him. I hope he's strong enough to deal with all the bull-shite.

Great story. I hope he doesn't have to put up with much more of these condescending questions and "dance for me, monkey!" interviews.

What a difference a day makes.

When times are tough never give up. You never know what tomorrow brings.

Ted Williams, homeless man with radio announcer voice, blocked from boarding plane to New York

I'd like to personally thank those who wish to stop this man from travelling because they think movement is a privilege. Thank you. Keep fighting the good fight.

This made me tear up with joy. What a wonderful voice!

I worried about the same thing, that he would essentially be shopped around to do "monkey tricks." While Ted's story is amazing, I really wish that people were talking about Doral Chenoweth and how it was him who helped out Ted.
