“I
believe
everyone
deserves
to be
loved
and
cared
for.
I’ve cut
hair for
people
that
can’t
afford
it
everywhere
I’ve
traveled.
Each
time the
act of
loving
others
has
created
an
amazing
experience
for the
both of
us” says
Berlin.
“The
survival
kits are
funded
out of
my own
pocket
and from
other
hairstylists
and
generous
donors
who
believe
in the
cause.”
PMTS4Change
