I have owned a wig salon for over 20 years
my main focus is helping ladies, children, and
men deal with the effects of chemotherapy
that causes their hair to fall out. I see
so many people of all age groups that struggle
with the purchase of a wig and some headwear.
Most insurance companies do not pay for a wig
(cranial prosthesis) in medial terms. Most
women feel that losing their hair is almost
as devastating as being diagnosed with cancer.
Most ladies have famalies and small children
that don't understand the changes taking place
to their mother. That is way it is important
for Mom to look as normal as possible.

I carry name brand wigs that look so real
and natural for work or home. The smiles and thanks I receive are heart warming, it just makes you wonder how they will overcome the
hand they were dealt. I already discount the wigs as low as I can but still the really nice wigs are expensive (lace-front,mono-top).

Please help me help others - I would appreciate donations to purchase more wigs and headwear and give them to families that can not afford this necessity while going
through chemotherapy.

My business is very well know in the community
and I work closely with the American Cancer
Society and local Oncologist. Many people have
been through this process and know that a wig
and headwear are so very important through
the journey of cancer treatment.

Regards

The Wig Lady

Hi everyone. If you're reading this, thank you. Let me say upfront, I'm not asking specifically for money. I'm just going to spill my guts about this hand I was dealt.

I've had a hard life. My mother passed away when I was 12, and my father passed away at 20. He left me a lot of debt and a house to maintain.

The stress of all this has given me problems. I started having panic attacks and was hospitalized for a cardiac arrhythmia. Recently, I developed optic neuritis. I'm working on getting Medicaid to cover some of my costs but right now I'm in debt about #1000.

There is one blessing in my life, a relative who pays my internet and utilities. He also helps me with food. But that's all he can do. He goes without to provide me with that. Otherwise I'd be homeless, hungry, and who knows where.

So I'm blessed to have the basics in life. But there's so many things that I need that I have to beg other people for. My family is...not so supportive. All I have left are aunts and uncles, all except one on my mom's side. My mom's side of the family pretty much abandoned me when she died. They put me though shame and humiliation when I ask for help.

I want a job, but I live in a very rural area. I've applied s o many places up to an hour away but I don't hear anything back. Recently I applied for some state jobs which I'm hoping might come through.

These are the things I need and things I want, so you know what my intentions are.

Need:
Toilet paper.... :( The way I've been getting it now is to go into public restrooms and putting some in my purse. I feel wrong about this. But what can I say, it's a necessity?

Personal items...I won't go into detail but I'm talking about um, feminine ones. I get the Dollar Store brand kind, but even then it's too much. I've had to go without it which is very hard.

Hygiene items...I stopped using soap and shampoo conditioner. I would love to...I feel dirty honestly. But I can't afford anything. I only use deodorant every few days because the bottle is running low and I'm trying to make it last.

House items...I need dish washing soap. I can't afford paper plates and am just washing dishes with hot water now. Sometimes I cant' clean it all the way through that way, but I just have to forget it. I also need laundry detergent. I'm almost out of a huge bottle that I have made last over a year. It was Sun brand from the dollar store, and I loved it. I'm all about generic.

Gas money...My car is an old SUV, and it takes a fair amount of gas. I try to limit when I drive. But it's a necessity since I live alone and in a rural area. I have to drive to run errands, go see the doctor, go to job interviews. I usually beg for this the most cause this is one of the things I can't do without.

Medication...I'm on two heart medications because of my arrhythmia. It's important I take them. I tried taking them twice per day instead of three, and I had horrible palpitations. So this is kind of my priority. As I'm still uninsured, both medications cost about 12 dollars a month.

Okay those are all things that I feel I need. Now, what I "want".

Clothes...I haven't bought new clothes since 2007. That's when my dad got diagnosed with cancer. My shirts have holes in them, so do my jeans. I got them from Goodwill originally most likely, I like to be frugal. The only person I have is made of linen and has a hole so things fall out of it! I've lost weight and I have had my jeans fall down in public. It's bad. I only have one bra and it's way past it's prime. I would love a little money to buy some basic things. Jeans that fit, some cotton T-shirts, a purse. Maybe even something for job interviews? I think part of the reason I get denied is because I show up in jeans and a T and flip flips. But that's all I have.

Beauty stuff...Okay, this stuff is totally not worth your money, I get it. But I just thought I'd list everything. It sucks being a young woman who can't feel pretty. I'm unwashed, my clothes make me feel like a hobo. I see other girls my age in class (I attend college part time thanks to financial aid) looking and smelling beautiful. I mean...

I just want a hair cut. Recently, I hacked about 6 inches off myself with scissors. It's not pretty. I just want a little powder and some lip gloss to not feel so plain. I just want a spritz of perfume so that there's something beautiful in my senses. I daydream about when I used to wear cute clothes, go to a salon. Wear mascara and paint my names. Ahh...But this is just a dream. I don't expect anyone to help me with things like that.

A new laptop/tablet...The one I have now is really old and really slow. Don't expect anyone to get me one. If it happened, I would probably assume I'm dead and in some sort of heavenly afterlife. Then I might pass out from shock.

So this my friends, is my general beg for help. I'm a 23 year old girl without much family. My basics are covered, but that leaves a lot for someone who is broke. I'm actively searching for employment. I've applied from Dr.'s offices to bars. I'm part time in college, and I'm not sure what I want to study yet.

I don't drink, if I had the money for beer I'd buy TP instead. I don't smoke or do any illegal drugs. I'm not a criminal.

I am not someone who wants to just take money. If you are down on your luck too, please don't send me anything. Put it in savings. Give it to some of these people who are about to lose their homes if you must. They're deserving.

If you're apprehensive about giving money but still want to help, you totally can. A package filled with toilet paper, tampons, shampoo...that would be like Christmas morning to me, I swear.

I'm not sure what I'm going to get out of this. Writing this was therapeutic though. If you're on this site, you're already a nice person. I bet 90 percent of the traffic is people who want something, like me. People who go on here to help someone is probably such a rare thing.

Thanks for reading.

Couple of 5 are struggling extremely from lack of employment and funds. We are both divorced and have 5 kids to raise with constant obstacle to over come from our ex's. We have a total of 5 childern between us from our previous marriages and get very little to no assistance. I am a veteran and served in both operations against terroism
In iraq and afganistan I don't claim to be disabled as I have worked through my p.t.s.d. without the help of drugs from the v.a. I believe in self reliance and have always done whatever it takes to provide for my family but with the recession it has been hard in my area to find work. I go to college at my local college and I am using my g.I.bill to support my family which is not nearly enough to do as my Rm/Gf is unemployed but goes to college for cosmetology so she can better her life as well but has a semester or so left before she can get into a salon. I on the other am trying to get my AA so I can move up the latter to go to law school after my bachelor degree which I have about another 4 years left to do. We are in serious need of help our local community support funds are out. We are currently 4 months behind on rent and 1 month behind on electric and phone also kid expenses. I have been fighting the v.a. to release my education money cause they have made an error in activating my benefits for this semester. Thank you and God bless. If you'd like to email to discuss further details feel free to contact me at longrifle03@yahoo.com

I am a single mom who works hard to provide for my family. I have always dreamed of going to nail tech school and opening a nail salon in my hometown. We currently do not have a nail salon, and people have to drive at least 30 miles to get their nails done. I have a current business plan. I applied to my local bank, but I will need at least $50,000 for a down payment. This money will help me achieve both of my dreams, complete nail tech school and open my business. Please help me achieve the American Dream of owning my own business.

Please help me start a salon!
I have been managing a corporate salon in the Rockville MD area for about 3 years now and have built the most amazing team of stylists that this area will ever know. But! We have big dreams, dreams that a corporate environment just does not encourage. We love our clients and our community and we want to make community service a major part of our business focus because we have discovered that beauty absolutely begins on the inside. Also we want to be able to take on new talent and apprentice a new generation of beauty professionals that put emphasis on the highest quality hair services, excellent customer service, community involvement and a strong sense of pride and community.
Last, and perhaps most of all I want my two little girls to grow up knowing that their mom built something that is inherently good and something they can truly be proud of.

I need $50,000 to realize my dreams. Please find it in your heart to help, even the smallest donation is appreciated from the very bottom of my heart.

Thank You

Women's History Month is an annual declared month in the United States that highlights contributions of women to events in history and contemporary society. Natural Locs Hair Salon is proud to participate in Women's History Month during the month of March.

Please become a part of something phenomenal. Natural Locs Hair Salon will be having several seminars to kickoff our first Hair and Fashion Show in affiliation with Angelia's Afrocentric Boutique to support Women's History Month. We hope to make this an annual event. Please feel free to donate a little something. We would like to be able to secure some speakers that are likely to move you and get you into the spirit of the moment. We'd also like to reserve a spot for the Hair and Fashion show that will be comfortable to all who would like to attend and become a part of this event.

I am a mother of two with one on the way. My husband has been out of work since July, but he is still looking everyday. I opened a new salon in May with the help of funding from my stepfather. Unfortunately business has not picked up as well as I would have expected. I am currently two months behind in my rent which is $1175/mo on a three year lease. I have three others besides myself working in the shop. Only one has steady clientele. She will be going out on maternity leave in December. The other three currently do not have a lot of clientele but I gave them a chance. I know some would say that in this business I can't afford to hire people with no clientele, but I have a big heart and remember when I was starting out and someone had faith in me and gave me a chance. My baby is due in April and I hate to think of how the business with falter without my being there when I go on leave. My clientele in itself helps with paying the gas and electric and water bills, but my clientele can't sustain the rent. I am a very humble person and I am grateful that I found this website. I have never done anything like this before and was a little embarassed to seem like I was begging. I know in the end everything will work itself out. I would be extremely grateful for any help that I receive. I have helped plenty myself in the past and I know that a time will come again when I will be able to help someone else in need. Thank you one and all. God Bless.

OK I know you're thinking get your nails and hair done!Geez.... But I am working very hard and do not have extra money.
I am a girly girl that actually like looking like a girl as opposed to women that dress like guys. I still wear skirts and dresses.
Well I am not asking for a lot just $45 for a day at the salon.
Please...... I really need a day at the salon.
Thanks ever so much
