Brookfield Teen Gives Shirt off His Back to Less Fortunate

Talk about giving the clothes off your back. A Brookfield teen helped out someone less fortunate with a bag of clothes.

19 year-old Justin Barber goes to Tompkins Cortland Community College and works in the school gym. He noticed a kid named Ollie working out every day. "He comes in with the same clothes and holes in his shoes."

One day Justin pulled him aside and asked if needed clothes, toiletries or food. "He told me yes. He was trying to work but it was hard," says Justin.

The next time Justin bumped into Ollie at the gym he had a gym bag full of clothes, shoes and water bottles for him. "He was so happy. His eyes were all lit up," says Justin.

Justin's mom Gina says this isn't something new for her son. "When he was 7 he worked all weekend with a friend cutting down Christmas trees. He made 20 dollars and went to school and donated it to fund mosquito nets for children in other countries."

Justin dreams of pitching in the big leagues and he's well on his way. His 89 mile an hour fast ball landed him a trip to play for a  dream team in California where many have gone on to the Major Leagues.

"Everyone says they have people who inspire them," says Justin. "Most people pick celebrities but no one I know has been through what he goes through on a daily basis. Ollie is an inspiration to me."

Justin's selfless act of kindness inspires us to say thank you with tickets too see Garth Brooks in Albany. We hope he inspires others to follow in his footsteps.
