Homeless Men Receive Shower, Shave & Haircut Transformations

It seems there is a problem in our Nation that is becoming more and more prevalent; homelessness. We tend to look down on these people but many of them are just like you and me, we just can't see it. Filmmaker Tyler Bridges is changing that by helping homeless men get a shower, shave and haircut to show us that at the core we are all the same. Their transformations are incredible.

Many of us are just one paycheck away from being homeless. It can happen to anyone and when it does it's hard to get your feet back under you. Tyler is hoping to get people to look at the homeless a little differently and to help raise awareness on how we can get involved and help.

Tyler created a short film 'What's the Difference' where he took men from the Union Rescue Mission in Los Angeles offered them a shower, a shave and a haircut. The results are amazing. Just that little bit of grooming brought one man to tears and gave him a sense of hope.

Tyler hopes to bring awareness to the more than 600,000 homeless plight in the U.S. You can get involved by locating a mission in your area and lending a hand. Here in Abilene you can volunteer by contacting Mission Abilene and Love and Care Ministries.
