This is Anthony, and after his shower i was handing him a hygiene bag and motioned we had some open chairs if he wanted a haircut. Anthony said “Nah man, I got two mirrors and cut it myself.” I let him know that our barber Jay gives an amazing cut, but Anthony shook his head. Then Jay started in on him, asking him if he could at least give his beard a trim. Anthony agreed and sat in Jay’s barber chair. Jay talked him into a cut, and when Jay handed him the mirror to check himself out, Anthony took one look, and JUMPED out of the barber chair to give Jay a huge hug.

Anthony had his friend John with him, and John also had initially said no to a cut, but then John saw how great Anthony was looking, tapped me on the shoulder and said “I know I said I didn’t want a haircut, but do you think I might be able to?” I smiled and John sat down and another amazing barber of ours, Pete, gave John an incredible cut and beard trim(we will share John’s pics later). Anthony and John spent the rest of the day walking around with the biggest smiles. You could see this massive shift in their self confidence. It is such an amazing moment to see someone experiencing homelessness regain their confidence.

As they were leaving, I overheard Anthony tell John, “Man, my girl gonna freak when she sees me.” Thank you to everyone who continues to support our nonprofit and allows us to create these transformations in the people we meet.

Last night I had just finished gassing up the truc

Last night I had just finished gassing up the truck, getting it ready for this morning, when this young man, Bradley, runs up and says “My Grandma says she has shoes for you.” I reached into my truck and gave him a business card and told him to have her contact me and can figure out a pick-up time. Bradley said “I think she has them now” I pulled away from the pump so someone could fill up, and Bradley comes over all loaded up with new shoes. His amazing Grandmother, Tracy, lives in Oklahoma but has been following us for a while. Yesterday she was in Wal-Mart and bought all the shoes she had, and was wondering how she would get them to me. Bradley’s parents are both firefighters and she is in town watching them while they are off working. Was so random to both be filling up, and was so amazing meeting Bradley and Tracy. We are so grateful to have such amazing support. Y’all make the work we do possible. Thank you for allowing us to do what we love, help those in need.

Freddy NEEDED these new Vans really badly ! One of

Freddy NEEDED these new Vans really badly ! One of the funnest moments, is watching those who receive new shoes, as they walk around the rest of the day. They have a completely different walk. You can see a new level of confidence. When Freddy first arrived that morning, he was quiet and kept to himself. After he got the new shoes, Freddy was talking and laughing with everyone. We truly love being able to bring these moments to those experiencing homelessness. Making sure they know that someone cares about them.

Thursday night I drive to Tucson to see our friend

Thursday night I drive to Tucson to see our friends in @flatlandcavalry play a show, and at 1 AM had to gas up the truck for my 2.5 hour drive home. As I walked in to get some water, this young lady asked me if I wanted to buy some trinkets she was selling. I politely said no, but knew I had a bag of goodies I would give her before leaving. As I was grabbing a water, some mid 20’s couple walked in and the man was loudly talking poorly about the woman outside. “Here she is asking for money when there is a hiring sign across the street. Lazy bitch” I paid for my water, walked to my truck and grabbed the bag of goodies and a twenty dollar bill. I approached and introduced myself. This young lady’s name is Ashley, gave her the bag and money, she began to cry. I sat down next to her as we chatted. I wanted to wait for the rude young man to walk out. Luckily they had to walk right by us. I made sure to smile at him and I told him to have a nice night, and then turned to Ashley, and said loud enough for the rude kid to hear “I’m sorry ignorant punks are rude to you. They really hate themselves, not you.” As I drove by, I rolled down my window and said goodbye to Ashley and wished her luck. I hope wherever she is, Ashley is having a good day.

We are so fortunate to have amazing humans like @e

We are so fortunate to have amazing humans like @etep77 proving cuts to those experiencing homelessness. Most of the individuals we meet have went many months, if not years, since their last professional haircut. All our stylists and barbers treat those they cut, as if they were sitting in their salon or barber shop. Human contact is such an important factor in our lives, and those on the streets rarely receive it. Our team never rushes a cut, and all of them do an incredible job at connecting with those who are sitting in their chair. It is so awesome to watch individuals checking themselves out in any window or mirror they can see their reflection. Nothing beats being able to make a positive change in the life of someone else. We are so happy we get to show love to those who need it the most. Thank you all for your support.

Chris, one of our Wednesday regulars, decided today that he wanted to go to rehab and get off the streets. The people from CBI were with us today and took Chris to rehab. We LOVE seeing this and know that someone we have become friends with, is taking the streps to better his life.

Garza is very excited about the new pair of Vans we gave him !! This man arrived wearing only socks, walking on the pavement in 115 degree heat. We gave him some flip flops to wear in the shower, and after Garza took his shower, we surprised him with the new Vans. We LOVE the pure joy you can see in his face. It is truly amazing to be able to witness others having a huge happiness spike ! We love knowing that Garza has some high quality shoes keeping his feet safe. Come join us and witness this level of joy !!

Rodolfo was extremely quiet as he sat for his hair

Rodolfo was extremely quiet as he sat for his haircut. We are always curious as to the reasons that caused a person to end up on the streets, but we never ask. We want them to hopefully become comfortable enough around us to share more personal stories, but that takes time. Even though he was short on sharing personal information, Rodolfo made sure to thank everyone. We always want to make sure we thank everyone as well ! Without your support and donations, we would be unable to help Rodolfo, and others experiencing homelessness. YOU make this possible. Thank you !

Andrew is definitely a favorite of our volunteers.

Andrew is definitely a favorite of our volunteers. It took a couple months for us to get Andrew to use our services, but now we can count on seeing this sweet man on Mondays. Andrew loves to draw in coloring books using colored pencil, and has befriended some of our volunteers who now bring him coloring books and pencils. Last week we had an individual who was staring trouble and causing a scene, and Andrew stood up and told the person to leave, and that this is not the place to cause problems. I saw this and was blown away, and also made me happy that Andrew was going to make sure peace and harmony was kept. We are so happy to be able to get to develop friendships with awesome people like Andrew. I guarantee anyone who joins us to volunteer and meets Andrew, will automatically become friends with him. Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday.

Chris is the gentleman in the yellow shirt. He was waiting for us as we arrived with our trailer. As we got out, Chris approached us and asked if we needed any help getting set up. Said he was so excited to get a shower and haircut. We gave Chris some water, and let him know we appreciate his offer but have our new crew and they are still learning how to set up. Chris mentioned he was wearing size 11.5 shoes but his feet are 13’s. Chris had no idea we handed out shoes, he just mentioned it during our conversation. After his shower and haircut, we surprised him with a new pair of size 13 Nike’s.

The sweet lady in the purple shirt is Denise, and she is Chris’s girlfriend. Chris approached me after receiving his shoes and said “I know you gave me shoes and I am so grateful, and hate asking, but my girlfriend Denise is also wearing shoes too small. If you don’t have any shoes for her, I understand, but I hate knowing her feet hurt being stuffed in the shoes she has.” Was so happy we had a pair in her size, and now this super sweet couple both have high quality new shoes that will last them a while. We really get to meet some very sweet people who just happen to be experiencing homelessness. Come out and join us ! Help us shower the streets with love !

So glad that we got to meet Leonard, and that he sat in Jay’s chair for a cut after his shower. You could just tell that Leonard was feeling worn down. Jay said that Leonard was really talking negatively about himself and that he was tired of being treated like he was nobody. Jay not only gave him exactly the look he was wanting, but also Jay did an amazing job talking Leonard up. Everyone was telling Leonard how the loved his fresh cut. As we were packing up, Leonard came up to me and asked if he could have another new shirt, one of the reasons he was feeling so down was a backpack of his was stolen and had a lot of his favorite shirts. I grabbed him two new shirts and told him that I really hoped we get to see him in two weeks. It is so heartbreaking hearing people feeling so worn down by life. Happy we got to share some positive words and vibes with Leonard. Thank you to everyone who keeps donating. Without you, none of the work we do would be possible. You rock !!!

We went from zero stylists/barbers signed up, to have a whole gang providing cuts !! Huge thank you to @jessiecarbone @dorothyannelacy @etep77 @zubi_hoops and @barberingsavedmylife ! Those we help who are experiencing homelessness have went months, often years without a professional haircut. Humans need touch, and the simple act of the stylists touching their head as they trim them up, is so important. One of my favorite things is to compliment as many as I can after they get their cut. Compliments are something those experiencing homelessness very rarely receive, and is a blast watching their faces light up. We are always needing more stylists/barbers, come out and join us !
