## Resource

In September, Donna Garcia in Smyrna, Tennessee, is turning her hair braiding talent into a lifeline for immigrant families—launching “Braids with a Purpose” during Hispanic Heritage Month. Motivated by deep cultural pride and compassion, she’s donating every dollar earned to support urgent needs like food, healthcare, and family reunification. Already raising over $400 in one day, her project blends tradition with tangible aid, uniting the community as people come not just for style—but to stand together. Through braids, she’s weaving hope, healing, and solidarity into every strand. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
