He struggled to speak. The homeless man had not spoken or been spoken to for so long he struggled with the hoarseness of his voice as he was coaxed into conversation by the woman who was cutting his hair right there on the streets. At that moment he mattered, and he was getting so much more than a haircut. He was getting a moment of humanity from the woman whose hands were holding the scissors. Her name is Laura Reed and she travels to cities and towns, big and small, offering random haircuts to those in need, many of them homeless. Reed, a hairdresser for 24 years, says it is her calling to use her talent to offer kindness, one haircut at a time.
