Join the Cloud Nine team and help some of the most vulnerable people in our community shine! It can be very hard for people living with terminal illness to take care of the little things we all take for granted: like finding time and feeling well enough to get a haircut. Something as simple as looking well-groomed can make people in this situation feel more like their 'normal' self, and contribute to a sense of wellbeing and reduction in anxiety.
