Journalist Columbus Dispatch, a local newspaper in the city of Columbus in the U.S. spotted on the roadside a homeless man with a sign explaining that he has a special talent: A golden voice for radio!
The journalist comes to interview station and Ted Williams at the place where he is actually doing the round. The question Ted explains that he has experienced the horrors of drugs and alcohol, but since he is 2 years sober and clean, and he hoped with all his heart that someone will recognize his talent voice and give him another chance to rebound.
And here everything will go very very quickly.
On January 3, 2011 (before yesterday), the Columbus Dispatch reporter post the video on http://www.dispatch.com.
The same day a stranger's repost on Youtube (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTysXITBCmk ) by appealing to web surfers that come to their aid and we found him a job.
And the miracle of the Internet works. Within 48 hours, a donation site is open ( http://www.gofundme.com/tedwilliams ) and another support site ( http://tedthevoice.com/ ). A listener to the radio station that broadcast from Columbus on the air the sound of the video posted on YouTube, offers to pay $ 15 000 at the radio station if Ted hires. A visitor offers him a cell phone so he could be reached.
