As I approach retirement after serving as a veteran, I am excited to begin a new chapter by opening my own salon. My lifelong dream has been to help others, and I believe that empowering women and promoting healthy self-care is a meaningful way to give back to my community. Through this salon, I hope to help women see their own beauty and encourage a healthy lifestyle, especially when it comes to skincare.

The biggest challenge I face is the cost of getting started. I need funds to purchase a 24x40 foot home shed to serve as the salon, as well as essential equipment like salon chairs, vanities, desks, and bathroom fixtures. Every dollar raised will go directly toward making this dream a reality and creating a welcoming space for women in my community.

I want to thank everyone who donates or shares my story. Your support means the world to me, especially since asking for help is not something I do often. This project is incredibly important to me, and I am deeply grateful for any help you can give as I work to give back in such a meaningful way.
