💖 Francesca’s Story –

The Heart Behind Hair & HealingIn February 2023, my life changed with a single discovery: a lump in my breast.At first, I cried. I was overwhelmed, afraid, and uncertain. Being diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer was something I never imagined would be part of my story. But it was—and it became a turning point in my life.I faced it head-on, going through chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation. One of the hardest parts for me was losing my hair. It wasn’t just about appearance—it was about identity, confidence, and feeling like myself. That loss opened my eyes to how deeply healing goes beyond the physical.What carried me through?Faith. Family. Friends.They stood beside me, prayed with me, cried with me, and reminded me of my strength when I forgot it. Through their love—and through my own will to fight—I discovered a deeper purpose rising from the pain.That purpose became Hair & Healing.Because I’ve been through what so many women are going through now. I know what it feels like to look in the mirror and not recognize yourself. I also know the power of feeling seen, supported, and beautiful again.Hair & Healing is more than wigs—it’s a movement of love, restoration, and community for women facing breast cancer. Whether it’s a cranial prosthesis, a word of encouragement, or a moment of connection, we’re here to help women feel whole again.This journey shaped me—but it did not break me.Now I stand not only as a survivor, but as a sister in healing.
