Helen's Gift
The concept for Helen's Gift line of skin care began quite a while ago. It is a way for me to not only provide healthy, non-chemical everyday items we all use, but also to honor a woman I have heard so much about but did not get the chance to know very well.
Helen’s Gift is named after my mom Helen Turner Furze, who succumbed to breast cancer 6 days before her 58th birthday in August 1974. In 2018 when I turned 57, I realized the timeline of my life, as if it were my mother’s, was running out. It was time for me to turn a circumstance that shaped my life into something positive.
Volunteering for the Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Resource Foundation’s 44-mile 3-day walk for the last three years opened my eyes to the contemporary world of breast cancer. People survive, unlike 1974 when treatment was a one-sized-fits-all, cookie cutter option. And with survival comes challenges; effects from chemo and radiation, follow-up drug therapy, and the emotional toll of looking over your shoulder to see if the cancer will creep back into your life.
My goal was to come up with a product to address dry, damaged skin with an uplifting and mood-enhancing aroma. Borne first in the Helen’s Gift line of topicals is Daily Moisture. Then along came Daily Deodorant and more recently Hand Sanitizer. All are gently on the skin but very effective. More will be added as time goes on.
Please know a portion of the proceeds from Daily Moisture will go directly to Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Resource Foundation. Thank you for your support.
