The Problem:

Every day across North Carolina, vulnerable children and their caregivers face an overwhelming reality. For families raising children with special needs (like autism) or those in foster care, a simple trip to the salon can feel impossible due to sensory overload, accessibility barriers, and a lack of trauma-informed care. This isn’t just about hair. It’s about dignity, confidence, and human connection. These families deserve to thrive, not merely survive.

Our Solution:

Restored Souls is a group of champions who believe that families shouldn't have to choose between breaking down and breaking apart. Through restorative experiences and wrap-around care, we provide a lifeline for parents who have opened their hearts and homes to children in need.

Restored Styles is our mobile, trauma-informed salon, bringing essential services directly to families at homes, churches, shelters, or events. It’s more than a vehicle; it's a place where vulnerable children feel seen and safe, and where parents feel supported instead of isolated. Our full-time professional, Mark, takes the mobile salon out weekly to provide a variety of services, including haircuts, shaves, and facial waxing, directly to families at homes, churches, shelters, or events. With a wheelchair lift and full washing station, we ensure accessibility for everyone. Every paid haircut funds a free haircut for someone in need. This is practical support that dignifies, restoring souls one haircut at a time.

Our Impact:

Since 2020, the Restored Souls Foundation has served over 400 children and families, offering support through respite weekends, joy-filled events, and hands-on care. We've seen families preserved and renewed through our initiatives, creating more stable and loving environments for children. With your help, the Restored Styles mobile unit will provide hundreds of sensory-sensitive haircuts annually and open doors to relationships, restoration, and gospel care. Your generosity ensures this mission is sustained. The real impact is seeing foster homes that stay open and families that don't quit.

The Goal:

We need to raise $60,000 to fully fund this project. This work was so important, we launched it in faith that the funds would come. And now we get to see God provide through friends like you!

Mobile Unit Creation: $40,000
First Year of Operation: $10,000
Maintenance & Repairs: $10,000
Total: $60,000

Every dollar fuels meaningful service and helps safeguard against the unexpected—like recent costly AC repairs and upcoming tire replacements ($1,800)—so the mobile salon can stay mission-ready all year, especially with winter coming.

Be part of the story. Every gift counts. Every haircut matters. Every soul is worth it.
