Watch: ‘Love Beyond Walls’ Gives Homeless Their Dignity Back

LBW-LoveMeter-113

*If you happen to live in Atlanta, you may have seen the big, black bus that at one time only had the words “Mobile Makeovers” written in large letters, by a black marker.

Today that bus has been upgraded. In big bold letters it reads: Love Beyond Walls. And it gives mobile makeovers to those in need.

Inside, there are leather seats, and people who have been living on the streets can get a makeover in the form of a haircut, hair style, a hot shower and some clean clothes.

Terrence Lester slept on the top of the old bus for 30 nights straight– in winter– to bring attention to the issue of homelessness.

He told 11Alive Atlanta:
