Anthony Metzmeier Homeless Pan Handler
I saw Anthony Metzmeier who is a Homeless man living in the woods in Brandon. I stopped and talked a little while with him and he had many questions as to why I am spending my time making these videos. My answer is simply that if I am able to do this and give others a way to be heard than I am doing my part.
