Stand by Stephanie: A Hairdresser in Need

Help a Local Hairdresser Heal: Support Her Journey to Recovery

Hi, my name is Dana Wentzel, and I’m reaching out on behalf of an incredible woman, Stephanie Truchan, who has spent her life lifting others up—through her work, her spirit, and her heart.

Stephanie is a talented and beloved hairdresser who owns and operates her own small business. She's not just a stylist—she’s a community pillar, a friend, and a bright light to everyone who sits in her chair. But now, she needs our help.

After months of living in pain and pushing through just to keep her business running, Stephanie has been diagnosed with a serious spinal condition. Next week, she will undergo a necessary spinal surgery that requires an extended recovery and rehabilitation process.

Because she is self-employed, Stephanie will be unable to work during this critical recovery time. She is currently facing medical hardship, financial strain, and food insecurity. The physical toll is compounded by the emotional and financial burden of being out of work.

This is where your kindness can make a world of difference. We are raising funds to support her in covering:

Medical bills and surgery-related expenses

Out-of-pocket costs for physical therapy and rehabilitation

Groceries and basic needs during recovery

Rent and essential living expenses while she is unable to work

Every donation—no matter the size—will directly impact Stephanie's recovery and well-being. If you can give, please do. If not, sharing this page with others who might be able to help would mean the world.

Let’s rally around a woman who has always been there for her community. Let’s help her heal, rest, and return to the work and life she loves.

Thank you so much for your support, prayers, and generosity.

With gratitude,

Dana Wentzel
