Haircuts for Hugs
“Each Wednesday, barber Anthony Cymerys sets up his chair in the shade of an oak tree in Hartford’s Bushnell Park. 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. For longtime clients, the homeless, or those just down on their luck, the fee is always the same: a hug for a haircut.” This article reminds us that love is expressed in many forms, and has no prejudice. { read more }
