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. More will be added as time goes on.
