Dear Pat and the Authors at Speak Up Talk Radio,
We cannot thank you enough for your donations of beautiful handmade pillowcases and books! They are so special and made with love. The impact they will have on our mothers and children is wonderful. Thank you for believing in our mission.
Since 2007, Enchanted Makeovers has been creating environments and educational programs within shelters for women and children that support creativity, self-expression, and worth. Through unique projects and programs, a place is created that is both inspirational and empowering for the most vulnerable members of our society as they rebuild their lives.
It’s hard to believe we are about to be celebrating our 14th anniversary! When I look back at all that was accomplished over the years, I am so grateful to all the donors and volunteers who made it possible. So many women and children living in shelters have been empowered through our projects and programs. Without people and organizations like yours, we would not be able to carry out this mission.
Thank you for your wonderful donation in support of our mission and for believing in Enchanted Makeovers! You are such an essential part of “the village” that is changing lives!
Many blessings,
Terry Grahl
Founder and CEO

Dear Patricia,
You truly make a difference in the lives of children with life-changing illnesses and injuries. Because of your generous donation of pillowcases to our Cleveland chapter, children like Lucca will feel the comfort of the whimsical pillowcase. Additionally, their caregiver will have access to web-based resources to help them cope with the diagnosis, treatment, and recovery while building resilience along the way.
“Thank you so much. We simply LOVEEEEE IT!!! Lucca loves it! I am so grateful. They’re (pillowcases) very soft , super cute, and lovely! We bring it to the hospital to get his chemo and have a great sleep. Thank you so much. We really appreciate your
love.” – A Thankful Mom
Although these moments may seem small to the average person, you know that they are not. That’s why we, along with the families we serve, are deeply grateful for your generosity.
Appreciatively,
Melissa Lusk
Executive Director
