At Wigs For Kids, family means everything, from the families who give to the families we serve. This holiday season, we are celebrating a very special mother-daughter duo whose story embodies the heart of our mission: Jenn and Eva.
Jenn is an Administrative Assistant at Wigs For Kids and has worked in the hair industry for over 15 years. She was introduced to Wigs For Kids by Founder Jeffrey Paul and quickly discovered that working with the recipient families was the favorite part of her week.
When asked to join the Wigs For Kids team, she jumped at the chance. “Interacting with the recipient families always holds a special place in my heart,” Jenn shared.
Now, her daughter Eva is following in her footsteps and is working in our Recipient Program as she begins cosmetology school. “She’s always loved helping others feel and look their best,” Jenn said. “Even as a little girl, she’d spend hours styling her American Girl dolls or curling her friends’ hair before school events.”
Eva adds, “The most valuable lesson I’ve learned from my mom is to be patient and treat people how you want to be treated.” Watching her daughter carry on this passion is truly a dream come true for Jenn.
When it comes to the holidays, comfort and togetherness are at the center of this family’s traditions. “Both my husband and I have large families, so the holidays are always busy,” Jenn said. “Christmas Day at home in our pajamas with our daughter and our two kittens is what I look forward to most.” “We wear pajamas all day on Christmas,” Eva added. “It’s our cozy family day!”
From Jenn and Eva, and all of us at Wigs For Kids, we wish your holiday season is filled with peace, comfort, and moments that remind you how special family truly is.
