For several years, a disheveled, elderly homeless man had been wandering the streets of his Peruvian village. Earlier this month, members of the Peregrin Evangelical Church in Ferreñafe, Peru, decided to give Chuman Don Luciano an incredible, potentially life-saving makeover.
Luciano is 83 years old. Despite the fact he has a home and family, Luciano suffers from schizophrenia and spends most of his time on the streets of Ferrenafe, Peru. His community loves him so much that they affectionately refer to him as “Crazy Chuman.”
Church members banded together to do something most people wouldn't dare. They led Luciano by the hand to a makeshift makeover station, right there on the road. They bathed Luciano, shaved his scruffy beard, cut his long hair, and dressed him in clean clothes — but that's not all.

Chuman Don Luciano, 83, suffers from schizophrenia and spends most of his time on the streets of Ferrenafe, Peru. Beloved by his community, members of the Peregrin Evangelical Church recently gave Luciano the makeover of a lifetime.
Members of the church led Luciano to their makeshift "salon" in the streets, stripping off his tattered clothing and pouring clean, warm over over his skin -- tending to him with such gentleness, it was as if he was a child.
Luciano received more care that day than he had in a very long time. After a much-needed bath, the church members washed his feet, massaged his back, and wrapped blankets around his body.
Luciano was then treated to a fresh shave, a new haircut, and a set of clean clothes. His skin was no longer covered in dirt and his community could finally see his face.
These acts were incredible enough, but the church members didn't stop there...
Luciano was given the medical care he needed, along with a national ID card, and cash to get him back on his feet. Social services also set up a regular schedule to provide the elderly man with food.
“It’s an act of humanity that sets an example to us all,” the city’s mayor, Jacinto Muro Tavara, told Yahoo. “I applaud the local community’s initiative in carrying out this act of solidarity.” The municipality’s Facebook page is now being flooded with me
