Group Of Homeless People Surprised By Day At The Spa

Sometimes something as simple as a haircut can make someone feel better, especially if you are unable to afford one. A group of homeless citizens arrived at the Ascencia Homeless Shelter in Glendale, CA for some food and shelter and ended up getting a surprise that helped brighten their day and spark hope in their future. Prank It FWD decided to surprise them with a a “Day Spa”.

Haircuts, fresh clothes, shaves, manicures, massages – they got the whole treatment. One of the young hair stylists says he was in the same position some years ago and was happy to give back.

It was a pick-me-up that many of the spa recipients were grateful for. One veteran was taken aback by the attention. “Somebody cares,” he says disbelievingly. “I’m a Vietnam vet, honorable discharge, and uh,” he says breaking down, “I’m not used to any affection.”

As the workers at the shelter say in the video, it’s not only food and shelter that homeless individuals need. They need respect and attention to help remind them that they matter.
