Our Vance Law Firm's Pay It Forward honoree is Eddie Brooks, Jr of Uniontown. He is a barber and serves his community by helping out those in need.
Eddie Brooks, Jr is a Vietnam veteran and still serving through his barbershop in Uniontown. In fact, he even gives free haircuts to the homebound and will take older community members to their appointments.“He’s a very giving person, and I told him his middle name should be “Giving.” Some days at the upholstery shop and other days at his barber shop, he’s working. He’s a working man, and he will help anybody who needs the help,” said Askew.
“I guess I came up with poor parents. My mama and daddy were sharecroppers. They didn’t have much. Then my mother, I don’t care when she goes to see someone if she didn’t have but a dollar, she’d always put a dollar in their hand before she leave them. I guess I got that from her. I feel like you want to be able to help a person whether it’s a little or much. That’s why I feel it’s a blessing to continue to help people because it’s always someone lower than you,” said Brooks.
