Jonathan
July 27, 2017
I met former NFL player Jonathan Brooks (Detroit Lions, Atlanta Hawks, and Saint Louis Cardinals 1979-1980) sweeping a traffic island in the middle of a busy intersection in San Diego. He was holding a box full of road debris and litter. He sweeps the island because he wants to start a program that empowers the homeless, including himself, of San Diego to take ownership of their city and help clean the streets like he does.
"Look around. San Diego is beautiful. It just needs to be cleaned up."
In exchange, hopefully the city can give back to the homeless with money to help them purchase their basic living necessities.
It's a great idea, and I hope the city of San Diego takes Jonathan's idea into serious consideration, is able to work through all of the logistics, and implements it.
If you know anyone that has some pull in San Diego, please share Jonathan's story and idea with them. Thanks.
