Because of YOU the 5th Annual Health Empowered Beauty Fashion Show was a success!


Thank you!
First of all - thank you for supporting the 5th Annual Health Empowered Beauty Fashion Show! If it weren't for YOU, the show wouldn't be possible.
"I want to be Reed next year." That was what one of the models in this year’s Health Empowered Beauty Fashion Show said when the event was over. She was expressing her heartfelt desire to be like Reed, former resident of Susan’s Place who came back to tell her housing success story.

We have that same hope for the residents of Susan’s Place. Thanks to your support of the Fashion Show, as residents do move out, they will be prepared to set-up their new home with household supplies, personal care items and other needs to help make the transition as smooth as possible.

Our thanks to YOU for making this possible, and to our hard-working volunteer planning committee, sponsors, gift bag and raffle donors, designers, influencers, hosts, and our volunteers, including professionals from many fields such as photographers, videographer, hair and make-up artists and even our florist! Please visit our event page. to see the impressive list.
Here is a link to the event photos on our Facebook page.

If you have any questions about Care for the Homeless, Susan’s Place or the Health Empowered Beauty Fashion Show, please contact Cathy J. Sharp, Director of Development and Communications, via info@cfhnyc.org

We are already getting ready for next year, which will be a very special year indeed, as we will be celebrating the 10thAnniversary of the opening of Susan’s Place. 

Thank YOU again for your support and for saying “Yes, I Care for the Homeless!”

Staying positive keeps Nicole going. “Faith and hope,” she said. Having faith and remaining hopeful gives her the strength to work towards her goals. “It is my beliefs that keeps me going,” Nicole said. Health Empowered Beauty is “everything,” if you ask Nicole. She believes beauty is “the extension of a woman.”    Be sure to join us October 2, 2017 at  The Mezzanine  for the 5th Annual Health Empowered Beauty Fashion Show where women such as Nicole will be walking as models.

“A woman for all seasons” is Anita’s philosophy, inspired from a book by Sir Thomas, “A man for all seasons.” Anita says the book has taught her to be the woman she “needs to be in any season of her life – a woman for all seasons.” Beauty is about your heart, your soul, your spirit, your faith, and your hope. Not your outer appearance. After becoming temporarily disabled and losing her job, Anita eventually became homeless. “I needed a place where I can start all over and that’s what Susan’s Place has been for me. My dream is to start my own business. I really want to continue to do computer work as an IT professional,” Anita said. “I need a profession that will work with my health concerns,” she continued. After becoming homeless, Anita found herself “under a lot of pressure and stressed.” “I was also very depressed,” she said. Susan’s Place helped her move away from a dark place. “Susan’s Place has been a refuge for me…coming here, I was able to relax,” she said. Anita t
