You know it's it's time in my own a campaign when I wanna I wanna do it at 2 o'clock in the morning naked -- can go to the walls of his one bedroom apartment and Eggleston square in Roxbury are filled with his artwork. He set up a little studio in his living room and does when he first did forty years ago back when he was a school teacher. He paints. And his paintings will be on sale this weekend to benefit hearts a local organization. Dedicated to ending elder homelessness. You're donating about seventy paintings for this benefit. Why. Basically these people who are responsible for finding me housing. And this is payback time they've made it they made it happen absolutely without them I'd most likely still be in in the shelter. The art sale runs both days over the weekend at hearts and a abyss and -- house on Washington street. In the south and here you get a please don't work place who and it's not a show. What does that mean you it means to me for the first time in almost two years that I have. A creative kind of uses that come back. This is very important -- the end of Warren's life.
