Let's Give Leslie a Restful Escape

Dear Friends, Clients, and Family of Leslie,

I’m writing to you today not only as Leslie’s sister, but as one of her biggest admirers. Many of you know and love Leslie for her artistry—she doesn’t just style hair—she transforms lives. She brings light to everyone she touches, pouring every ounce of energy into making others feel radiant and whole. She is a true warrior.

As a single mother, Leslie works tirelessly to provide for her teenage daughter. She often puts others first—whether it’s her clients, friends, or family—rarely taking a moment for herself. She works 6 to 7 days a week, and even through her ongoing battle with lupus, she shows up with grace, strength, and unwavering dedication.

After much encouragement (and a little sisterly persuasion!), Leslie is finally taking a well-deserved break for some sun and soul-recharging. She’ll be heading to Punta Cana from May 27 to June 1—a moment to rest, reset, and feel the same joy she so generously gives to others.

To honor the heart and hustle she’s poured into our lives and our community, I’ve quietly created a GoFundMe to send Leslie off with some well-earned spending money—just a little extra love from all of us to make her trip as beautiful and stress-free as possible. Any amount, big or small, will go directly toward helping her feel celebrated, relaxed, and appreciated.

As a fun thank-you, everyone who contributes will receive a number from me. At the close of Leslie’s trip, I’ll randomly select one lucky number live to receive a curated beauty basket filled with products, tools, and a few special surprises.

She doesn’t know I’m doing this—but I do know how much she means to all of us. Let’s come together to show Leslie just how loved and supported she truly is.

With endless gratitude, kindness, and appreciation,

Cynthia Denice De La Puente
