Brother Barbers Cut Hair for the Homeless, Veterans, Credit Success to Single Mom Who Raised Them
Growing up two of five siblings in a single parent home, brothers Fonzie and Gilbert Lopez learned to cut hair to help their struggling mom. In 2015, their talent turned into a business called Barber Bros.
Mindful of their neighbors in San Antonio, Texas, struggling like their mom used to, the brothers started giving back by cutting hair for the homeless, veterans, and school-aged kids.
Both credit their mom for instilling in them good morals. The Lopez siblings with their mother. (Courtesy of Barber Bros #2)

Karachi
May 20, 2021
Two brothers among four people drowned on Wednesday in the Hub Dam as police said people had been thronging the dam to bathe due to the ban on picnicking at beaches in view of the rising Covid-19 cases.
Two young brothers drowned in the Hub Dam, Sakran, while they were bathing. The victims had gone there with their family for a picnic. Their bodies were retrieved by divers. The victims were identified as 18-year-old Arham and Obaid, 17. Police said the deceased were residents of Baldia Town.
Separately, 21-year-old Hussain, son of Shah Faraz, and 20-year-old Ali Muhammad, son of Moosa, drowned in the Hub Dam within the limits of the Manghopir police station. Their bodies were shifted to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital.
Images of two boys covered in dust crying and embracing each other have been incorrectly labeled as showing “two brothers from Gaza” and shared online amid the recent flare-up of violence between Gaza and Israel. The stills actually show two young survivors of a bomb attack.
