Isa sa mga hinahangaang international singer si Jon Bon Jovi, na kilala sa kaniyang mga awiting Livin On A Prayer, You Give Love A Bad Name, Its My Life, Always, at maraming-marami pang iba.
Siya ay isang American singer-songwriter, record producer, philanthropist, at actor. Siya ang leader ng award-winning na bandang Bon Jovi, na sumikat noong 1970s.
Ngunit mas lalong hinangaan ng fans ang singer ngayon matapos syang magatayo ng isang restaurant na hindi para sa ikalalago ng kaniyang yaman, kung hindi para masigurado na makakakain ang mga mahihirap at pulubi sa kaniyang lugar sa New Jersey.
Tinawag niya itong JBJ Soul Kitchen, na co-fouded ng kaniyang asawang si orothea Hurley.
Sa restaurant na ito ay tanging mga homeless lamang ang kanilang pinapakain, at hindi sila kailanman sisingilin ng bayad.
Sa isang interview ay ipinahayag ng singer kung paano siya nakapag desisyon sa ganitong layunin.
“One night I was looking out a hotel window in Philadelphia and I saw a guy sleeping on a grate. And I said: ‘That’s not what our forefathers were thinking when they created this America that they dreamt of’,”
Dagdag pa niya, “And I thought, I know the issue – homelessness. Doesn’t matter if you’re black, white, young, old, Republican, Democrat. I don’t need a scientist to find the cure, and
I can make a difference. It hit me like a lightning bolt.”
Para kay JBJ, nais niyang masigurado na ang mga taong walang mauuwian at masisilungan tuwiing umuulan ay makaka kain pa rin sa tuwing kumakalam ang kanilang sikmura.
“Having a roof over your head is the greatest relief. I can’t imagine not having sanctuary to be warm in the cold and comforted in the rain.
“You’ve got to put a roof over someone’s head and then you’ve got to give them the ability to provide so they can keep it over their head. You can’t just give the man a home and go, good luck. Because next month there’s a lighting bill coming.
“Now that I think about it, we don’t give anyone anything; they earn it. We don’t give, this isn’t a contest. These people have gone to great lengths to get back on their feet, to achieve this level of success where they could get that roof over their head. None of this was given to any of them, they worked for it.”
