A man after receiving a help as rent thanked with a gesture of gratitude

Many people have lost their jobs due to coronavirus and struggle to pay for basic life necesities, but they are receiving financial lifeline.

And on Friday, an extraordinary gesture of gratitude was seen.

Early Friday morning, a line of people was formed outside of the Columbus Urban League.

Among these needy people was one person named Ryan Griffin.

He lost his hotel job in March due to pandemic.

He says that he daily fear if he will be able to provide for his son.

"It's scary. And it's hurtful. When I look at him and think I might not be able to feed you or keep a roof over your head, you know? It makes me — it makes me sad," he said.

On Friday, Urban the Urban League distributed over 100 checks, from amounts ranging from $500 to $1,000. But this was only the start as they say they have more than 600 applications waiting to be processed.

Rhonda Gaines, who manages the housing stabilization program, said, "We've received over 5,000 phone calls since we started our program in March. Over 5,000. We get maybe 200 calls a day for rental assistance coming from people who've never applied for assistance. They've never applied for unemployment, they've never applied for anything. And they need help."

Griffin said that for such help, a small piece of gratitude is the least he can do.

The hotline number is 614-484-9111: https://www.cul.org/

Covid-19 pandemic requires all to be stable from mind and not only from body. Yoga exercises like pranayama are a very good source of positive thoughts in early morning.

Music is God given talent for me. It is a special gift from above. I need to be truthful to him and use it for his glory.

Do u live in musically world?

Yes, I do live in a musical world . While we do a family prayer daily, play in our church every week myself and my brother play Keyboard and guitar together. There cannot be a day without music in my life.

There is something about music that seems to bring me closer to each and every thing and each and every emotion that I have for things and it also helps an individual to come together as a community.

How your life relates to music?

Myself and bro used to jam together, we produce some good music, we do cover songs some originals and more instrumentals.

What are your thoughts on music?

Music for others maybe is only just their mood , but for me it's a gift from God. I feel deeply connected to music . Anyone who has grown up in a musical family knows the tremendous part that music plays in one's memory, but I don't come from a Music family. I feel music is your own experiment and experience of your life . If you don't love it , it won't come out .According to me Music has no boundaries , as there's no boundary line to it. Dan is carving a niche following for himself already at his tender age. His renditions of Gospel classic solos and improvisations with fusion pieces put him in the ladder for much more accolade to come. He is charming has a most amazing social profile.

Dan Emil Joshua, Musician from scratch to Pro

Dan Emil Joshua was born on July 22nd, 2000 in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. He is a music composer and also a programmer, who is a master of playing the keyboard and the guitar, which he started learning at the age of fifteen. His interest in music was fuelled by his parents.

He attended St.John's Matriculation Higher Secondary School. During his school days, he was in his school band as a Keyboardist.

Dan gained a thorough knowledge of the music industry and there is no looking back thereafter. His new single tracks were making the rounds with digital platforms. He gets on a roll about some of the unintended complications of attending high school as well as the struggles that come with being an up-and-coming celebrity.

Dan is known for writing all of his music, and isn’t afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve. He also learnt guitars for himself with knowing only the keyboard. He later learnt music programming by himself working on his own tracks, this made him more intense towards music production.

In 2017, He and his brother Deri Lorus started their own record label 'D Flat Records' for producing and promoting their independent music. The tracks which he worked with his brother are available under D Flat Records.
