<p>Here is an incredible story of a homeless man who was befriended by a journalist in Los Angeles. Nathaniel Ayers was a Juilliard student, a brilliant violinist, before he became a victim of schizophrenia and found himself in LA’s skid row. The journalist was taken by his violin playing on some corner (violin only had two strings left), and approached him. It’s been a long journey for Ayres.</p>
