However, Maltsby has committed to bringing light to people in need by playing music on the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida, and donating what he can to them, WTSP reported. In addition to playing for the public, Maltsby also hosts a radio show on WRXB called “Blind Boy Radio”. While on air, the musician gives away groceries, cash and other goods to grateful callers. To date, Maltsby has donated $2,000, but his funds are running low—even with help from sponsors. Thats why hes turning to the community for help. Maltsby has set up a GoFundMe campaign in the hope of collecting $25, 000 to aid struggling people in the community. While Maltsbys benevolent (慈善的) spirit is inspiring, its often the people with little to spare who demonstrate how easy it is to part with money. This past winter, for example, when Dominique Harrison-Bentzen, a British student, didt have any way to get home, a homeless man gave her all the money he had—$4.60—for a taxi. She returned the favor by setting up a fundraiser for the kind man, which has since collected more than 32,000 British pounds(over $50,000)． “I hope my campaign will help people think a little more about the people around them，” Harrison-Bentzen told The Mirror.“If people can see what I am doing then maybe they can take the time to just stop and talk to a homeless person, hear their story.” 1.
