On Sunday, the 29-year-old woman saw Joe at a bus stop in the Taylor Berry neighborhood and he mentioned that he wanted a haircut. “He was talking about how his hair was longer and it was tickling his ears,” Moran said. Lucky for Joe, she had just taken and passed her barber board exam that day and her supplies were already in the car. Moran says a near-death experience in 2016 changed her view on life. She was shot three times while standing on her porch(走廊). The incident resulted in an 8-hour operation, a 10-day hospital stay, and physical and emotional recovery. She hopes to lead by example and send the message that the world can always use more love and compassion.

周日，这位29岁的女士在泰勒贝里社区的一个公共汽车站看见乔，他说他想理发。莫兰说：“他说他的头发长得较长，耳朵痒痒的。”乔很幸运，那天她刚刚参加并通过了理发师考试，她的用品已经在车里了。莫兰说，2016年的一次濒死经历改变了她对人生的看法。她站在她的门廊时中了三枪。这一事件导致她经历了8小时的手术，10天的住院，以及身体和情绪的恢复期。她希望以身作则，传递这样一个信息：世界总是可以利用更多的爱和同情。
