CAPABILITY STATEMENT

​

ActNUALEJ inc.( pronounced Acknowledge) is a Non-profit organization geared toward helping children and teens with their hair care needs. We provide a safe place for Parents/caregivers to ask specific questions on how to maintain their child's hair. One of our goals is to teach basic grooming skills and styling techniques. We also provide opportunities for  teens to apply for a free hairstyle/haircut for their senior prom. Additionally, we offer free hair maintenance products to keep them properly groomed so that they can look and feel better about themselves during their transitioning process.

​

When an organiztion or parent/caregiver recieves a foster or displaced child from the state of Florida, the child has already experienced some form of neglect. Many of these kids come to us with severely matted hair or hair that will require treatment involving cutting or deep conditioning. Some of the children experience permanent hair loss and lasting scars from having scalp conditions such as hair lice, ringworm and hair fungus.

​

Children want their hair to look nice by going to beauty salons/barber shops, but the added cost to do that can put a financial burden on the parents/caregiver. Some parents/caregivers attempt to do their child's hair themselves, however doing so can lead to a bigger problem if they are not accustomed to caring for different types of hair textures or scalp conditions. This in turn causes the child added stress, leaving them feeling unattractive and ashamed. 

​

We can help build their self-esteem and self-confidence by giving foster and displaced children these products and services. Our organiztion will need donations of hair products and financial support from individuals, businesses, and sponsors to provide for each child in need. Providing these services will help the parents/caregiver financially and bring much needed self-worth to the child. It also removes anxiety from the parents/caregiver that may be worried about having to style their kids' hair or disrupt their current placement. 

​

Please help support ActNUALEJ inc. (pronounced-Acknowledge) as we help our foster and displaced children look and feel better about themselves. Together,  we can make a difference.
