Amazing! Man turns truck into restroom for homeless

Living on the streets is a very sad situation, in most cases; and if you have ever imagined yourself living under sunbeds and overpasses, you may have thought that in addition to the obvious safety and comfort issues, those who live without a home usually do not have access to “luxuries” such as taking a good shower, brushing their teeth and Do your needs in a clean bathroom.

It was just thinking about this kind of basic difficulty that a guy named Jake Austin decided to take an innovative initiative. Basically, he bought an old truck and turned the vehicle into a walking toilet. Called “Bath for People”, the truck is all equipped with what street people are definitely not used to: sinks, mirrors, soaps, moisturizers and of course warm water for a good bath. Look:

“Good hygiene promotes health, shelters hope and restores dignity in those who have lost it, ” he said in a statement published in Bored Panda.

A video made by Austin collected testimonials from the first people who benefited from the mobile bath. Some had not washed their bodies for more than a month and celebrated the feeling that they could wash their hair and take a decent shower after so long. Is it or is it not a commendable attitude?

If you care about homeless people and want to help in any way, it is always worth remembering some basic things. Homeless women also menstruate, and giving sanitary napkins is always a great idea. Now, in times of warm-up campaigns, people also forget to donate “small” socks, gloves, scarves and clothes, but they are quite important on cold days.
