Darrin was a new man after @c.dotcutz gave him a cut. Nothing beats watching our friends experiencing homelessness after they get a shower and haircut. You can see their self esteem skyrocket. One of the major issues we are working upon is helping those on the streets believe in themselves. Darrin was very talkative early on, but after he saw himself in the mirror, he was a changed man. We are so grateful to be able to hit the streets and help those in need. Hope y’all have an amazing day and we cannot wait to go to Kitzo Church in the morning and bring showers, laundry, haircuts, and supplies to those in need.

This is Willie and he came up to me after getting his haircut and shower and wanted to let everyone know how much he appreciated everything. We look forward to seeing this gentleman again and helping him. Willie was so well liked that when his clothes came out of the dryer, Eugene (our VP) walked across the street and walked around the encampment area to deliver Willie his clothes. Thank you to everyone donating to our nonprofit. Without your support, we can’t get out there and help those in need. Have an amazing day.

This gentleman is Erik, and I am so happy that he came over to our trailer. After getting his haircut, Erik asked if he might be able to use my phone. I said ok, and then Erik was on the phone for 20 minutes. After he hung up, he thanked me profusely and said that his Mom was going to be sending his confirmation for a bus ticket home. Erik took a shower and then sat down and we had an hourlong conversation. Erik went into a deep spiral when his girlfriend got a late term abortion. Erik was so excited to be a father and he just didn’t know how to cope. Erik has marks all over his face and bruises and cuts everywhere due to getting beat by a group of men. He saw these men accosting a female and said “I thought it would be better if they beat me up then hurt her” So Erik went over and helped her get away but got beat pretty bad. He broke down crying a couple times in the conversation and I am so glad he is getting on a bus tonight to go home. We took this picture to send to his Mom. We very rarely give anyone money, but gave Erik a twenty and told him to get some snacks for the bus, but Erik said “If it’s ok, I’d rather save it and take my Mom to breakfast.” Gave Erik my business card and told him to keep in touch. I hope to get a new picture of Erik six months down the road and see him living a better life. Today would have been a huge success even if Erik was the only person we saw.

We LOVE the smile and joy that shows in Reyna’s face after she got a haircut and shower. Something as simple as a hot shower and haircut can make such a massive difference in the way one feels. We are so grateful to be out on the streets showing some kindness and compassion to some people who rarely receive either. Thank you all for your support.

This is Jessica, and if you ran into her at a Star

This is Jessica, and if you ran into her at a Starbucks, you would never guess that she is experiencing homelessness. One of our main goals is to break the stereotype that every person on the streets is a drug addict, a drunk, or wants to steal from them. This is so false. Now are there people like that who are homeless, of course, but there are people like that in every economic group. We want the masses to treat everyone with compassion and kindness. Get to know the person and don’t judge them in their current status. Really hope we see Jessica again. She was truly a pleasure to be around. Please send her all the positive vibes that you can. Have a beautiful weekend my friends.

@tattoofriend and @beautificationist have already given 15 cuts by noon today !! We are so great to have these amazing stylists come out and use their skills to complete some incredible transformations. The smiles we see when they are finished and our friends in the streets get to see their new look are incredible.

We LOVE how amazing our volunteers have been at interacting with those experiencing homelessness. Each day we have witnessed people make connections and having ground breaking, emotional conversations where both end up in tears by the end. This world would be a much better place if we would all just treat each other a little better. If you are interested in volunteering, click on the link in our bio. Hope to see you out there.

This is Ramón, or “Movie Star”, as we all called him after he got his shower and incredible makeover by our stylist Chelsea. We wish all those who feel negatively towards those experiencing homelessness could meet Ramón. This gentleman was so sweet and so grateful. Was such a pleasure helping this kind soul. Ramón has a broken foot, so our crew put plastic bags around that so he could use the shower. Hope we can see Ramón more often and get to know more about his situation and see how we can help. Thank you so much for all your kind words. We love showing your comments to those in the pictures and help increase their self esteem.

Another day on the streets providing support to those experiencing homelessness. It is so great being able to see people come out of our showers feeling completely refreshed. There are so few places that those in need can get a shower. We are so grateful to offer a safe and free place to get a shower, to wash their clothes, to provide haircuts, to have snacks and hygiene kits. Thank you for your support.

Sam looked like a completely different person afte

Sam looked like a completely different person after his shower and Chelsea gave him a cut and shave. Looked back through old pictures and the first time we met Sam was June 16th 2016. Haven’t seen Sam for at least 8 months. Was extremely excited when he showed up. Sam is very soft spoken, and one of the kindest humans. I was walking by as Chelsea was finishing up, and heard her say “Sam, you are a really good looking man”, and Sam just blushed and got a huge smile. Sam couldn’t quit smiling and our volunteers were all blown away by his transformation. Thank you all for your support and allowing us to help those on the streets, like Sam.

Harry has shown up every time we have parked at Grace Lutheran. Today he was excited when Lisa was taking him to the “Big room”, the larger room and shower we have for those in wheelchairs. We are so grateful to be out on the streets and providing a safe and free place for those experiencing homelessness to take a shower, wash their clothes, get a haircut, and get a new wardrobe and hygiene kit. Your donations make this possible and we are so appreciative for your support.

Hal is one of our volunteers favorites! This man is extremely intelligent and I can guarantee he would blow your mind with his wide array of knowledge. Hal has a bike and Grace Lutheran Church provides lunches on certain days and Hal loads up his bike and delivers lunches to others on the street that he knows can’t make it to the church. Our VP Eugene has had a couple long chats with Hal, and asked Hal, “Is there anything you need that we could acquire for you?” Hal responded with “Multi-vitamins. Also we could really use some amino acids to help us stay healthy out here.” We are at Grace Lutheran tomorrow and really hope to see Hal.

Gia giving Lisa this hug was pure magic. They must have embraced for what seemed like minutes. Our volunteers made Lisa feel so special, and I am so honored to have some incredible humans coming out to help us help those experiencing homelessness. We really hope we get to see Lisa again.

Lisa is a BEAUTIFUL human being ! Every volunteer who met her fell in love with Lisa. I wish every human being could spend time with Lisa, and we could change the way the masses treat those experiencing homelessness.

Our amazing volunteer Lindsey brought out a case filled with nail polish, nail files, and clippers to be able to treat the women we see to a manicure and pedicure. Here is Lindsey on the ground giving Lisa a pedicure and painting her nails. I cannot even express how amazing this moment was. Lisa at first was embarrassed about the condition of her feet, but Lindsey made Lisa feel so comfortable. Our volunteers and Lisa will never forget each other. Come out and join us on a mission and we guarantee you will make memories to last a lifetime.

Andy was very happy about the upgrade in Vans we gave him ! One of our favorite moments is surprising someone on the streets with a new pair of Vans or Nike’s ! Most experiencing homelessness go years between getting new shoes. The look in their eyes when we hand them a shoe box is such a magical moment to witness. Thank you all so much for supporting our nonprofit. None of this is possible without you.
