Help me fund women in shelters

Hi all,
My name is ShaDonna Charles and I have been volunteering for as long as I can remember. Helping people has always been a great passion of mines and is the very reason why I am currently pursuing my nursing degree. About four months ago, a group of my classmates and I from Robert Morris University coordinated a free health fair on the west side of Chicago at Kellman Elementary. Our purpose of the health fair was to bring the community together to the surrounding school and to inform the community on the topics of living a safe and healthy lifestyle through wellness and prevention techniques.
While I promoted our health fair, I happened to stop at a shelter nearby, to let the facility manager and residents know about the free services we were offering at the fair. As I talked to individuals about the free fair, one particular women stopped and asked me " Are you guys doing hair for free too? " I replied " sorry, unfortunately we are not doing any hair but that is something I will look into for another event". This sweet woman's question weighed heavy on my mind for about two months.
As a woman, I love to look and feel pretty. It boosts your self-esteem and confidence. So why not have all women , to at least feel special for a day. And then the idea popped up in my head, that I should have a "Pamper Me/ Ladies Day" for women at a shelter. God gave me a vision and I am acting on it. Making these ladies feel special for a day. What girl or women wouldn't like to get pampered and just feel good about themselves. My idea is to offer at least 150 women a free hairstyle ( wash/ blow dry & style), & a manicure while enjoying upbeat music, food and fun. At the end of the event, I plan to present each woman with a special gift bag that will contain items that will assist them while living at the shelter.
So guys, I am sincerely asking if you could donate, what ever your heart desires. Every little bit counts. I want this to be an event these wonderful ladies will never forget, "feeling special for a day". The seed you plant will grow and touch the hearts of every women we will be assisting. God bless you all and thank you!! :-)


Sincerely,
ShaDonna C.
