| Sofia's hair for health foundation |
Working with cancer care groups in the New York metropolitan area, Rodolfo Valentin, continues his charitable “Sofia’s Hair 4 health foundation”. Valentin is providing a customized wig to one cancer patient monthly.
The winning hair designer will tailor each wig to complement the winner’s unique features. The recipient nominated by friends, family or cancer care specialists must be a New York State resident who is fighting cancer and is within the “low-income” bracket.
In celebration of our 25th” year in New York”, said Rodolfo Valentin, who hails from Buenos Aires, “and in loving memory of my dear mother, I am happy to help some fellow New Yorkers feel more special. Today more than ever, we have to assist and support each other, and I hope my wig donations will bring some sunshine to some special people”.
Rodolfo made his first custom-made wig for his beloved mother, Sofia, who lost her hair while undergoing chemotherapy treatments. “ My mother was so saddened and frustrated, I just had to do something to help her”, said Rodolfo. She was the inspiration for this first wig creation and his subsequent perfection of prosthetic hairpieces. Now, through the “Sofia’s hair 4 health” foundation, he is helping men and women take one step forward in their walk to wellness.
Friends, family or medical caretakers can nominate a person in need who has suffered hair loss due to cancer treatment.
