A BIG Thank You

As an organization that depends on the generosity of others to exist, we are contstantly humbled when people want to help our clients.  We are even more impressed when a person or organization goes above and beyond to make a difference in the lives of the families that we serve.  After Hours by Cutting Loose, an amazing local salon, partnered with Mothers Helping Mothers to produce some amazing results!  Not only did they makeover seven of our mothers with haircuts, color treatments, facial waxings and makeup applications, but they also gave us a TON of donations. 

Let's talk about the women first.  They certainly got the royal treatment!  Yvette, one of the MHM clients, summed up the impact of the day by saying," This experience has made me feel so good.  It has been a very relaxing day that is much needed.  I spend so much time taking care of others that I rarely do anything for myself," she said.  “The staff has been so kind to us.  You can tell that they are all really nice and caring people that are taking the time to listen to our desires and trying to please us.  It has been a great day!  I can’t remember the last time that I have been to a salon.”

Taelor was the mastermind behind this great event.  When asked why she came in on her day off to oversee this event she said,” I really love doing work that will benefit our community.  I was born and raised here and my heart is here.  It is such an honor to be able to give back to others in this community and make a difference.”

Not only did Taelor and her staff make a difference to the women that day, but also to the families that will benefit from the donations of her clients.  Taelor sent out emails to her clients letting them know that they could help Mothers Helping Mothers by bringing in their donations.  Clients definitely came through and helped to fill 2 SUV’s with clothes, shoes, bedding and toys.  In addition, clients also brought in hair care products that were donated to MHM. 

When Jennifer Meadows heard what the salon was doing, she donated her services and products as a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant and offered to do all of the makeup for the seven lucky ladies.  “So many women don’t take the time for themselves,” said Jennifer.  “Making women feel special really goes a long way.”

A special thanks to Bellacino’s for providing free pizza for all of the women for lunch.
