The Panhandler said, “people who have a skill or a talent on the street tend to do a lot better.” Although it was said simply, it felt deep. After this incident, Leamy started befriending homeless men and women around Union Square in Manhattan. He would ask if he could sit next to them and jam on his own guitar. Then, whatever money the pedestrians dropped in his case, he would hand it to the homeless men or women.It also inspired Chris to start a social movement called #heplaysforme. He plays guitar and sings in Union Square on behalf of homeless individuals once a week. Not only money, he is also raising awareness for those in need.
