It’s almost impossible to believe it’s the same person. A homeless Peruvian has been given an astonishing completely change in appearance by his local community. Don Luciano Chuman, who was known as Ferreñafe’s “crazy man,” hadn’t washed or changed his clothes in years. The 83-year-old’s filthy long hair was seriously tied together and even smelt terrible, and he walked along the streets with nobody caring about him at first.
It’s not clear exactly why the Peregrin Evangelical Church decided to step in earlier this month, seeing as he’s been without a place to live in for some time. But members took him in, exchanged his broken and dirty clothes for fresh ones and washed him up with a shave and a neat new haircut. Social services have also now agreed to provide him with food on a regular basis. And he’s been treated in hospital for various medical conditions and given cash and a national ID card.
Photographs of his surprising transformation were to a local Ferrenafe community Facebook page. “It’s an act of humanity that sets an example to us all,” the city’s mayor Jacinto Muro Tavara has been quoted as saying. “Many others aside from Don Chuman need our help, though unfortunately we are often quite indifferent to them,” he said. “I applaud the local community’s action in carrying out this act of helping the people who are in great need of help,” he added. “I am so glad of heart to hear a story like this. I do hope that this same community will not allow this elderly gentlemen to fall back in to the cracks. I hope some of the folks continue to follow his care. I suspect he may need life-long support of this kind. But it does a heart good to know that there are still some folks willing to do something for someone else without expecting some form of compensation. Everyone should take a lesson from this story I think!”
