Haircut

One of the most important things we can do in life is to “be there” for others. When times are tough, those who show up for us mean more than our hearts can express. This video captures one of those moments. Asking a girl to prom happens all the time—but what this young man does is one in a million.

The great Rascal Flatts song, “I Won’t Let Go,” gives us exactly the words we want to hear when there are no words to say: “I will stand by you, I will help you through...”

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

Friend 1: I can't believe he's doing it.

Sign: Will you go to prom with me?

Mina from Florida, August 22, 2020

I am a survivor of lymphoma, and completely understood the feelings involved. I was imprisoned at the time of my cancer, and I had no one in my corner. I was released last year, and now volunteer in a chemo facility, and still to this day shave my head so that the patients feel comfortable with me. I am there for them, because I know what it's like to be alone in the fight.

Cory Tucker from Largo Florida , August 16, 2020

This video of boy getting his head shaved and asking the girl to go to prom makes me want to cry every time I see it. It is so uplifting and we need more of these.

Dale from Jesup GA, August 4, 2020

Thank you for your wonderful and touching videos.

Ted Simmerman from Emmett Idaho , July 29, 2020

small things that make a huge impact are our strength going outside of our friends and family comments. stepping outside of their agreement to what you know is a blessing to another!

Jeannie from Colorado springs, CO, May 7, 2020

This is so awesome and with losing my wife to cancer 3yrs ago gets me choked up every time I see it. With so much negativety said & talked about Generation Z, this really makes you feel proud of our youth and knowing there's still a lot of love in this world.
