It’s a feel-good story that just gets better and better.
Homeless man Donald Gould became quite the internet sensation recently when he was filmed playing on a street piano in Florida.
Donald is a 51-year old ex-marine whose wife died in 1998, sending him on a path of self-destruction. But his poignant skills sparked a huge reaction from people who were fascinated by his story.
Now, Donald has been offered a scholarship at his former college Spring Arbor University to study music again like he did before he was a marine.

In a statement to USA Today, the college spokesperson said offering Donald a scholarship was an easy decision.
“We have seen countless students and lives impacted by the transformational education we provide and know that Donald has a unique gift for music that he can use to change lives,” the spokesperson said.
A scholarship isn’t the only thing they are providing for Donald as they’re also giving him a Christian Life Coach to keep him on the straight and narrow.
Lets hope it all works out for him.
