Julia S., President of Wayne Hills High School Chapter, reflects on how her makeover with Franie reaffirmed her decision to start a chapter and spread the #GGmovement.
Last week, I went to my first GG senior home visit. I was nervous about what the other volunteers were going to think about it. When we first walked in, we all noticed a woman, who was very yellow from Jaundice. I knew that she was the person I wanted to do my first makeover on. Most of the other volunteers were uncomfortable, because as young girls, we have never seen anything like that. As I walked over to her, her face lit up. I asked her what her name was, she said Franie. I applied blush to her cheeks and lipstick to her lips.
After I was done with her makeover, the Activities Coordinator pulled me aside and shared with me something I will remember forever. She told me that Franie was dying, and my heart dropped. She told me what I was doing was such a blessing and how she is going to tell Franie’s family how happy this made her and send them pictures. These words that I received showed me how much of an impact this organization makes on others. I knew right then and there, that starting a chapter of Glamour Gals was one of the best things I have ever done.
