In NYC there are street musicians everywhere trying to make a few bucks, but for a musician, Will Boyajian, he’s trying to give money away.

Hopeful Cases was started to offer encouragement and support to those hungry and homeless New Yorkers. Will makes up to $400 a day playing a small rock concert in NYC subways, and anyone can take as much as they need from his open guitar case. Will does not stop singing till the case is empty.

Two years ago, he made a New Year’s resolution to give a dollar to anyone who asked for one.

“It was $40 a day. I made it two weeks. . . I don’t make a lot of money…I was drowning.”

But he did not want to give up on helping those he saw in need.

Will said, “With my limited skill set, this is what I can do.”

“New Yorkers become accustomed to people in need, but that person is the same human as me, and we are just one bad summer away from being on the streets.”

Will’s dream to have someone singing with Hopeful Chests in every subway stop.

“So, if you’re stuck, or really hurting you know there’s someone there.”

One day, a man with his life literally on his back and his puppy under his arm came up to Will. When Will told him why he was singing and that the man could take as much money as he needed, the man he turned to his pit bull puppy, “Moby, were are going to be okay.”
