Hello, my name is Natalie. I am putting together this fundraiser on behalf of a dear friend in need.

Anyone who knows Evelyn knows what a hard worker she is. In the past 2 years, I’ve watched Evelyn take a huge step in being a first time business owner. In October of 2022, she opened her own salon, Luxe Beauty Lounge. All of her peers, including myself, are so proud of her. Being a first time business owner does not come without struggles and adjusting to new stressful financial responsibilities. In addition to new salon ownership responsibilities, she is a proud single mother of two children and a homeowner.

Evelyn was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Although it seems she has caught it early, a mastectomy is needed to ensure no chance of reoccurrence or spreading.

This fundraiser will help to alleviate some financial stress and business expenses, while Evelyn bravely takes some time off work, for her upcoming medical leave.

Any donation, will help my friend focus on herself while allowing her new salon to stay afloat.

“Hope is praying for rain, but faith is bringing an umbrella.”

Please help me raise as many “umbrellas” as we can for our girl, Evelyn Negrete.

God bless and thank you.
