Last summer, Katie Steller pulled off the freeway on her way to work inMinneapolis. She stopped at a traffic
light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She rolled down her window and shouted. “Hey. I’m
driving around giving free haircuts. Do you want one right now?” The man laughed, then paused. “Actually,” he
said, “I was really hoping to get a haircut.” Steller pulled out a red chair from her car and helped the man cut his
hair immediately. After the work was done, the man looked in a mirror. “I look good!” he said.
Up to now, Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts around the city to people with little influence, and she is
strongly aware of the power of her cleanup job.
As a teen, she suffered from a severe disease, causing her hair to get thinned, so her mother arranged for
Steller’s first professional haircut. “To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and
not just an illness, it helped me feel cared about and less alone,” she says. After that, Steller knew she wanted to
have her own barbershop so she could help people feel the way she’d felt that day. Not long after finishing
cosmetology (美容术) school in 2009, she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project, reaching out to people
on the streets. Her aim was that by doing some kind acts, others would be inspired to spread their own.
“Part of what broke my heart was just how lonely peoplelooked,” she said. “I thought maybe I’d go around
and ask if people want free haircuts. I can’t fix their problems, but maybe I can help them feel less alone for a
moment.”
It all began with a belief in simple acts of kindness, such as a free haircut. “The way you show up in the world
matters,” said Steller. “You have no idea what people are going to do with the kindness that you give them.”

A Virginia teen is doing his part to make sure frontline health care workers are getting the meals they need to
help them take care of themselves and others.
Arul Nigam, 17, of Tyson's Corner, Va. , has had to make several adjustments since his school year ended
abruptly in mid-March due to the coronavirus pandemic(新冠疫情).“We didn'thave any classes for like over a
month and then after that there were a lot of technical difficulties. So I started to have a lot more free time,” he
tells Yahoo Life. “It was really saddening, but it was also something that really surprised me, that our health care
workers are facing something like that,” Nigam says. “So I wanted to see what I could do to help them because
obviously, they're sacrificing so much and giving so much for all of us. ”
In late March, the teen started fundraising efforts with the help of friends and family to help these health
care workers receive much-needed meals. He also began doing research about what hospitals had the most
amount of coronavirus cases, so he could prioritize those places first. He was also arranging for the orders to be
fulfilled at local family-owned restaurants impacted by shutdown orders. So far, Nigam has delivered over 1,000
meals to 22 hospitals in 13 states, including New York, Massachusetts and Maryland.
Nigam's efforts have not only helped health care workers, but restaurants as well. With quarantine
restrictionstaking a toll onthe food industry, places like Best Coast Burrito in Oakland, Calif. , have lost business
over the last few weeks. Best Coast's owner,Alvin Shen, tells Yahoo Life that being able to partner with Arul and
others in efforts to feed those on the frontline has been a big help.

D. Do something helpful for health care workers.
