“I’m going to make you attractive,” said Mika Hill, looking at the 21 of the woman sitting before her.The women once had long, 22 , dark hair.But alopecia(禿頭癥) had 23 her just a little of it.Hill, a wig(假發(fā)) maker, was about to change that.

Hill enrolled(注冊) in a wig-making 28 in New York.Back home with what she learned, she started making wigs that she planned to 29 for $300 each.

Hill pays 34 the donations with profits from her other products. 35 , she and her husband have also spent much of their savings keeping the organization running.
Hill’s customers can’t thank her enough.Elyssa Montoya was too 36 to be seen in public with her 37 thinning hair.“I didn’t feel I could show my bald head outside.Thanks to Mika, I now have beautiful hair, and feel 38 about myself again.”
