Teens give haircuts for homeless
a huge heart
Darnel Wells is a barber at "The Shop" in Frayzer,Tennessee. This summer for people who couldn't come sit in his chair, he went to them. Great video, here.

We just wanted to help people, we didn't know we could help that many. In the summer Memphis heat, Wells went to work in the community. To provide free haircuts to homeless. He brought a friend, his clippers 
and a huge heart. There were only two people when we got there. He ended up cutting nine heads and had five still waiting. They ended up giving out at least 30 burgers. The burgers were Zac Sherrod's idea. Sherrod paid for the burgers out of his own pocket. Zac didn't want a haircut, he wanted to help. "We weren't going to publicize this, but decided it might inspire somebody to go out and help somebody else," said Wells.

Sometimes, I glance over at FB stories, mainly because GH#1 posts his workout stats, and I send him hearts (likes).

 But today I saw that WW posted 3 memories that FB had sent from 9, 12, &14 years ago on this date!!
