I knew he was a great man but the way he is sticking by my side during these hard times is a true testimony and I am forever grateful. It tore him up knowing that many children can’t enjoy the simple pleasures of life such as a trip to the zoo, going down a slide at the park or just playing with toys outside.Big thank you to my wonderful husband.

His experience with Hashtag Lunchbag, an organization that feeds the homeless, gave him the inspiration to start his own foundation. When Henry’s not in the shop or traveling to tattoo conventions, he’s volunteering for Hashtag Lunchbag, giving motivational speeches at various schools and donating clothes, food and toys to those in need. “Real talk, I appreciate you man,” Henry said to Hubbard. I’m glad I have my shades on because I’m getting misty-eyed,” he said, turning to Henry and the two hugged.
