Barber Give Haircuts To Homeless for Hugs

A retired 82-year-old barber has been offering free haircuts to the homeless at a Connecticut park for the past 25 years.  All he asks for is a hug in return.  He was originally motivated to start by a church sermon.

The Huffington Post reports:

His clients line up on park benches, some of them also turning out for free meals provided on Wednesdays by a local church. One by one they take a seat in a folding lawn chair above a car battery Cymerys uses to power his clippers.

As he finished a trim on one customer recently, a loud squeal came from the battery. He gathered the mobile shop, connected the clippers to his car and picked up where he left off.

"It really is love. I love these guys," Cymerys said. He paused and turned to his client in the chair, "You know I love you, right?"

"That's what it's all about," Cymerys said.
