“A year and a half ago my mom was diagnosed with advanced stage ovarian cancer. Being local to the area we have heard about Martino’s foundation and I called for guidance. We were able to get a consultation appt immediately. My mom was expecting to keep her hair for as long as possible but Martino gently explained why they do things the way they do. He also knew the exact day her hair would fall out by which chemo she was on. He was right. We were able to make the wig fitting appt quickly after the consult. The wig picked for my mom couldn’t have been a closer match to her hair color. They didn’t have the exact wig in stock at the time but when we saw it in person we were shocked. After a terrible experience (having had her hair shaved off) my mom went outside and took the first selfie she had ever taken. She was feeling herself in that wig. It was nice to see. Now just a year and a half later my sister has been diagnosed with the same genetic cancer as my mom. I knew who to call immediately. We’ve done the consultation and again had the same experience. We go back for the fitting in a few weeks and I have no doubts it will go the same.”
