Homeless to Farm Hand

Chattanooga, Tennessee—(Wise Brother)

Last month, a woman who owns a farm near Toronto struck up a conversation with a homeless guy named Brian Bannister, who’s 60 years old.  He’s had a tough life and lost two wives, one in a car crash and the other to cancer.  So he told her he’d sort of just given up on life.  But now things are looking up.

She offered him a job at her farm, and he took her up on it.  She also got him his first haircut in two years, gave him a phone, and started a GoFundMe that’s raised over $8,000 to get him back on his feet.  He got emotional talking about it, and said he can’t believe anyone would care about him so much.  (Here’s a photo.)
