Campaign ManagerMan Whose Life Changed
This is the story of a Spanish man who goes by the name of Jose Antonio. He was rendered homeless when he started having mental health problems. He was an electrician but depression ruined his entire stable life and brought him to the streets in Palma, Spain where he lived in a makeshift shelter for 25 years until something happened that changed his life, forever. He was a victim of depression. This man who had a stable living, lost it all when he stopped feeling like getting out of bed as he felt depressed all the time. He lost his job, then his home and started living on the streets with no electricity, water or cooking facilities. He was 30 when he lost it all and when the life-changing experience came his way, he was 55. Who says you are too old for anything?
Not Like All Days Of 25 years
It was supposed to be like rest of the days of his street life which he would have spent working as the parking attendant. But it wasn’t. A person named Salva Garcia, an employee at a salon in the locality approached him and made a proposal. No, not a marriage proposal but something even better for him. Something he could not refuse and something that changed his life from there on.The ‘La Salvajeria’ salon gave this 55-year-old man a free makeover. They made a film,( attached ahead) for the salon’s third anniversary. Jose was thrilled to be the subject of change. He thought that this makeover could be the thing that turned his life around. So he readily agreed and the transformation that happened brought Jose to tears and the video captures all of it.
When Jose was seated the stylist asked him, “Jose, Windows open or closed?” and this is what Jose replied, “Windows… open for now so I can see myself for the last time like this. Now we close them, so that when we open them again, it’s as if something else has opened too in my life: like a symbol. Please closed.” Jose clearly had too many expectations from the entire adventure but even he could not believe the result.
