WOMEN'S BOUTIQUE

A young woman in her 30’s appeared in our office crying. She had just been told that her cancer had spread to her lungs and brain. Treatment must be aggressive and immediate! She looked in the mirror and saw her beautiful red hair, and knew that she would not be able to afford a wig that would cover her balding head. In addition to enduring the unknowns of treatment, the loss of her identity was most threatening.

One of the most traumatic occurrences during the cancer journey is the loss of hair that often accompanies treatment. Part of our self-image is wrapped up in our appearance, and this change can be devastating! Victory in the Valley has a wonderful supply of wigs that are styled and available free of charge to any woman who is going through treatment for cancer. What a joy it is to provide a wig that is just the right style and color to someone who has "one less thing to worry about" and "one more reason to feel that someone cares".

In addition to wigs, the Women's Boutique also has a supply of turbans and hats that have been generously donated to VV to offer to cancer patients..

Mastectomy supplies are also available for women diagnosed with breast cancer.   All are provided 'free of charge."
