One of my clients saw our web and asked why I didn't have have some personal information regarding my background and the wonderful things we do to PAY IT FORWARD. What she is referring to is I was a business owner in Michigan before coming to South Carolina. I owned a beauty salon/day spa, it was called Serenity Wellness And Beauty Spa. As soon as I opened the spa, I wanted to reach out and help the community somehow. Because I was a survivor of Multiple Sclerosis. After living in a wheel chair for 18 months and being told I would never get out of the wheel chair, I began my fight to survive. It has been a very HARD AND LONG ROAD for me to get where I am today, and knowing there was no cure for my illness. I wanted to help with the cancer survivors so I started a Free Services for Cancer Survivor Month.
The entire month of October, I offered free service such as free massage, facial, pedicure and manicure. You could pick 2 of the 4 services for absolutely nothing the entire month of October, which is of course breast cancer awareness month. We had such a overwhelming response to this, we touched so many people on a very special level. it changed my life for ever. We laugh and cry together every October. Such wonderful, strong people I had the privilege of servicing. I brought that same idea here.
We offer free services for cancer survivors in October. 1 free House Cleaning to survivors in October. I don't know if you have ever seen the movie Pay It Forward
with Haley Joel Osment but it is a movie that will really change your life.
The local paper and Live 5 News did a story on my company our first year of business over 11 years ago on my Pay It Forward Theory, since then we have been able to help over 600 survivors with free services. I of course can't advertise on this free service so maybe this is a good way to get the news out so that I might continue my journey.
