Hair for You

For anyone who has or knows of a person that has lost their hair due to illness, we have come across a lady who has just started up a home based business supplying wigs,hairpieces, scalp treatmnents and more. Her name is Connie Hansen and is certified in Cosmetology. She lives in Courtenay ,her business is called "HAIR FOR YOU" , her phone # is 250-898-1087 or you can email her at courtenayconnie@telus.net . She provides a service that is not always available in all cities. She goes by the motto that" if people look good it will help them feel better "and we believe thats true .

We want people to know that whenever one can help out another that kindness is passed on . In todays world many people forget about the "act of kindness" or" gift straight from the heart" and forget that not everyone is seeking something in return. For a person whose ill,those little things are the most cherished. For those of you helping out this ongoing project we " Thank You" because without you we wouldn't be able to get this off the ground floor. Rita & Sue
