Peggy’s Testimonial

Dear Amy McKnight, and the entire OPALS 4 ALS team;

I wanted to take a moment to express the depth of my gratitude for the gift you've given me. Living with ALS has brought challenges I never anticipated, and one of the hardest parts has been losing the ability to manage the simple, daily routines I once took for granted—like applying makeup.  Your incredible charity provided me with the opportunity to receive permanent makeup.

Thanks to you and your team at OPALS, I have traded the daily experience of despair at my appearance, for a beautiful, uplifting moment every day when I catch my reflection in the mirror, especially first thing in the morning.  I feel a renewed sense of confidence and joy despite my diagnosis.  Seeing my face looking vibrant and polished brings a warmth to my heart that words can barely capture.  It’s not just about the makeup; it’s truly about feeling like myself again.

And to Diana and Yuliya at GADIS Studio, your skill and compassion have touched my life in a way that goes beyond aesthetics. You've given me a priceless gift—the comfort of recognizing the person I’ve always been, reflected back at me with a sense of peace and calming.  Thank you all for making such a meaningful difference in my new reality.

With heartfelt appreciation,

Peggy
