Shaz is shaving her head in solidarity with her Mum – in support of Women’s Refuge

$775 donated
Given by 31 generous donors in 8 weeks

I'd greatly appreciate your donation (in ultimate support of Women's Refuge) towards me shaving my head in January '18.

Hawke's Bay

Those of us who were lucky enough to have great Mums will understand that Mums like mine deserve to be acknowledged and celebrated. Mum has lost her hair as a result of the chemotherapy she has been receiving this year. She is rocking a gorgeous wig with style :-)

In solidarity with her, I am having my head shaved in early-mid January 2018 – Mum gets first run though with the clippers. I have had long, thick hair for over 20 years (since I last had it short), so it’s going to be quite a change!

If you feel drawn to donate, I would greatly appreciate it. All funds will be given to Women’s Refuge. Women and Mums who end up being helped by this amazing organisation have incredible courage, just like my Mum. In the case of Women’s Refuge clients, they are building better lives for themselves and their children. I am so grateful that Mum, myself and my siblings always felt safe in our home – and that we always felt completely wanted and supported – not all people are as lucky as we were.

Thank you for reading this through, and for any donation you are able to provide.

Sharon Elsworth's involvement (page creator)

I had the privilege of growing up in a stable, loving, accepting, amazing family, surrounded by love. Very few people can tell that story. I want to help one of the organisations helping support those who are striving for a better life for them and their children, Women's Refuge.

Use of funds

All funds raised will go to Women's Refuge Napier.

My twin sister, Suzi, took great delight in doing most of the shaving, finished off by my hubby, Stephen.

I'm quite enjoying the new airflow around my skull & ears 😊
