“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”
campaign, 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.
