Parma barbershop owner aims to donate $1 million worth of relief to flood victims in Kentucky
PARMA, Ohio - At least 37 people are dead following massive floods throughout eastern Kentucky, and a Parma barbershop owner is doing what he can to help.“You guys, I grew up poor,” Innocenzi said. “I had nothing, so I know what it’s like to have nothing.”For the past few years, he’s taken it upon himself to start collecting supplies whenever he hears of a community in need.
“We’re all Americans, we’re all neighbors,” explained Innocenzi. “We’re on this planet together. We gotta work together to make it a better place to live, and if we don’t do that, we’re done as a country. That’s why I help, because I want to help.”“They have absolutely nothing,” he said. “Their entire lives were washed into different counties, different states. If you watch the news, it’s been horrific.”They need everything from new socks and underwear, diapers, and nonperishable snacks.
