Seeing the joy our services bring to people always makes me very happy, but it had never made me cry before, until last week. We had the pleasure of putting on an event for Greenhope Services for Women, a residential program for adult women seeking treatment for substance use disorder. One of the guests who was receiving a facial service started to cry. When asked if everything was okay, she shared that it was her first-ever facial experience, and it felt so incredibly nice that it brought tears of joy to her eyes. And you know what? It brought tears to my eyes too. It was a beautiful reminder of how small gestures can have such a big impact on someone's life.
For the event our team provided manicures, pedicures, facials, makeup application, and chair massages for Greenhope’s residents, and the services were much appreciated. These kinds of services were a first for many of the women that lived at Greenhope. To say they loved it would be a huge understatement. Those of us who have the good fortune of being able to get our hair or nails done on a more regular basis know how enjoyable these services are but also the boost they give to our overall feeling of well-being. It was truly special being able to share that feeling with people who have never had it before. And we hope to do it again soon.
