Jorge Ramos worked as a barber back in Venezuela and came to the city five months ago seeking work.

Now he gives free haircuts to asylum seekers arriving in the five boroughs, volunteering his skills as part of the organization Aid for AIDS.

Aid for AIDS hosts weekly donation events for migrants. The organization was originally founded to give free HIV/AIDS medication to people in Latin American countries. It pivoted to help asylum seekers last year.

"The organization serves as a support system," Ramos said in Spanish. "It’s something so beautiful. For example, on my part, I felt I could collaborate, that I could help them in improving their self-esteem, their mental health, because to help that person when they arrive, they come with high expectations and it helps them a bit."

And on Saturday, Ramos got a surprising visit from Mayor Eric Adams.

NY1 first profiled Ramos and other migrants giving back to the community last week. According to Jesús Aguais, the president and founder of Aid for AIDS, Adams visited the donation event after seeing the NY1 report.

"The visit was a strong message," Aguais said. "Many asylum seekers could not believe that the mayor of NYC was there shaking their hands and listening to their stories."

After meeting Ramos, the mayor gave him $500 to continue his charitable work at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal.

Ramos says he will be at the terminal all week.

"To be honest, I feel very proud," Ramos said. "I have received a lot of congratulations. [My family feels] happy that I’m part of those positive things that migrants come to the city to do.

"The experience was very emotional. I was so proud to meet him and shake his hand," added Ramos.

Aguais says that he and other staff members are planning on meeting with the mayor’s office this week. The hope is that this will be a continuing conversation to find innovative ways to help migrants.
