Wow it's late and I should be in bed but I must write this down before I forget. I always brainstorm and get ideas at night and never write them down. This is for me to go back and review and make it happen.
I was putting away my dress clothes and sighed because I really need to sort through them and get rid of some. I thought I'd just give them to the Thrift store but then thought to take them to Lous' Backdoor. But then a great idea clicked...New Beginnings!
I would like to someday start a non-profit for women who are homeless or in a women's shelter. The idea would be to have a whole program in place to help them get back on their feet and get a job. The concept would be to provide them with enough professional clothes to create five different outfits. They would get a free new haircut, techniques on how to apply makeup and receive free makeup. The program would also have workshops for them on interviewing, dressing for success, etc.
I know yo u always hear that it's not the outside that counts but the inside. But on the contrary, if a women looks nice and feels good about herself she will have confidence.
I plan on using my connections in order to get the free haircuts and make up. And all the clothes would be donated. I believe if we empower these women, they will be able to get back on their feet and excel.

Hey, your idea sounds great! Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. When could you use some clothes? I have a bad habit of keeping things year after year, thinking that maybe next year I'll like it or next year it'll fit me again.
Great idea!! I have a ton of dress clothes that I can no longer wear. Make sure you let us know when you are close to being up and running and I will look into sending you a box. I think I even have some nice shoes.
