She has endured painful surgeries over the last 13 years, yet has grown into an intelligent, well-adjusted young girl who lives in a loving foster family. Shriners Hospital has authorized permanently tattooed eyebrows. No medical personnel at Shriners or here can provide this service. Dr. Ke-Ping Tsao referred CCS to a permanent make-up specialist, but CCS cannot pay for this service because she is not a medical provider. Womenade!

Welcome
Hello Womenade Friends,
Thanks to Rosemary Cleaves, we are adding a new way to communicate with each other! Hopefully you will find this blog to be another avenue to learn about the help you are giving; take this opportunity to talk to one another! There are over 250 Womenade fellow members out there, and the number grows each week. You all are connected in the common goal of making life better for families and individuals in San Luis Obispo County.
I'll still be using e-mail to invite to potlucks, make requests, and deliver anecdotal updates.
Let me know what you think!
Fondly,
Sandy
