Stu­dents Or­ga­niz­ing Vol­un­teer Group for Hello Gor­geous!

MISHAWAKA—Bethel Stu­dent Lacey Bark­dull, last year’s ser­vice group leader for Hello Gor­geous!, is invit­ing stu­dents to lend their hand for the or­ga­ni­za­tion again. On Wednes­day, Oct. 28, she and a group of stu­dents will head over to the Hello! Gor­geous fa­cil­i­ties to vol­un­teer their help.  

“I led a ser­vice group last year there, and I re­quested that we do it again this year in any way we could,” Bark­dull said. “Be­cause we can’t re­ally have ser­vice day this year due to Corona.”  

Hello Gor­geous!  is a non­profit or­ga­ni­za­tion led by a group of women who help those who have un­der­gone chemother­apy. The can­cer sur­vivors they help are nom­i­nated by their loved ones, and they will re­ceive full makeovers that in­clude wigs, makeup and out­fits. Af­ter their makeover, they are taken to an event with their fam­ily to cel­e­brate their life and over­com­ing can­cer.  

Lacey Bark­dul­l’s group will be or­ga­niz­ing the fa­cil­i­ty’s makeup sup­plies, so that they are more eas­ily ac­ces­si­ble to the artists when they are work­ing.  

“We’re just go­ing to go over there and help in any way we can,” Bark­dull said. 

Bark­dull also said that if stu­dents were in­ter­ested in at­tend­ing, but were wor­ried about miss­ing classes, their ab­sences would be ex­cused.
