A
benefit for Keeping Kids Warm -
Helping Homeless Teens One Stitch At A Time on Mar. 3rd!
Details:
️ Here
is how this one played out. I was asked by one of the bands on Friday
whether I could record them at the Eastside Bar & Grill
on Saturday afternoon, Mar. 3rd. They mentioned it was a benefit to
raise money to clothe homeless youth so I jumped at the opportunity.
I've recorded at the Eastside B&G before and the sound person, Mike Woroniuk, does a
great job there.
It turned out that the benefit was about
more than clothing homeless youth but also about youth mental heath,
youth suicide and bullying as well. As a partially sight child going
through a 'normal' school system, I know what it's like to be bullied
by my peers. I was one of the lucky ones, with a loving family a few
loyal friends to watch out for me. So, this event became personal for
me and I stayed up all night after I got home to get it ready for this
week's radio show.
️ First
we'll hear a talk from Mike Neuts, who's 10 year old son, Miles, was
found hanging from a coat hook in a washroom at his elementary school
and died a few days later. He now runs an organization called Make Children Better Now
and travels the country to talk in schools about bullying and its
ramifications.
