This June makes 2 years that I’ve been cutting hair.... ~ In all this time it wasn’t until this past Sunday that marked the first time that it occurred to me that I have an ability to help others in a way that I know best. ~ My chase of money, success, and accomplishments has turned me from the potential to be an instrument of blessing to other people in need. ~ Together with my bro @yungdrippaa we bought 200$ worth of food, supplies, and daily essentials and headed to The projects of downtown Miami with 1 goal in mind : To help others in any way we could. ~ Technically We didn’t ‘gain’ anything... we spent 200$ and time we wouldn’t get back... or so it seems. ~ What we gave in money and time we received ten fold in love and appreciation from those we helped. For hours we distributed food and provided haircuts to those who couldn’t afford it. By the end of the day our legs were tired and our energy was all but used up, but the smiles we caused and happiness we saw made it the best 200$ we ever spent. ~ My intention with this post isn’t to boast to you all of what I did or look for applause... I simply want to tell everyone seeing this that there will always be another person in the world in need of the blessing only YOU can provide. We need to step up and be the change we want to see. ~ That being said me and my brother @yungdrippaa have started a local Non-profit Organization called ‘Blessed2BlessOthers’ . You can find us at @blessed2blessothersfoundation . Money is appreciated but more than that we need people that are willing to be the chance they wish to see in their community. If you have a talent or gift then you can put it to use to help other people. It’s an act that often takes more selflessness and good intention than it does money. ~ If whatever is written above resonated at least one tiny bit with anyone reading above please feel free to reach out to me @jclipsthebarber or on @blessed2blessothersfoundation . ~ “The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed; those who help others are helped.” - Proverbs 11:25 ~ Thank you all for taking time out your day for reading this and God bless! 🙏🏽💯

“I’m not crying. You are.” Real tears for a dope cause though. These young men deserve rounds of applause.
