About Us
Simply From the Heart is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that brings patients complimentary bedside beauty services to raise self-esteem and encourage well-being.
What we do: We deploy what is known as the “Glam Squad” to pamper individuals suffering from a terminal illness or life threatening disease and undergoing long hospital stays and treatment. The services we provide are free of charge to patients and hospitals and include hairstyling, makeup applications, manicures, pedicures, mini-facials, and massage.
