Grants are earmarked for medical and vital living expenses, including insurance premiums, prescriptions, medical treatment and operative procedures, housing costs, food costs, utilities, and other basic necessities. Peter Case shares “Ben Harper had come down to help me make my HWY 62 album. One day we were singing this great Beatles song and Sheldon recorded it…one of the hardest things to do in life is ask for help…it makes you very vulnerable, but sometimes you gotta. God bless Sweet Relief and everyone who helps hard hit people in this very difficult and divisive time”. “I was honored to help Peter with this cover of “Help”. I’m hoping he’ll help me write a song” Ben Harper adds. Prior to hitting streaming platforms, as part of the limited Record Store Day release, the first track off the 18-track compilation “Hallelujah!
