A Delaware County mother who fell
on hard times is looking good this Christmas.
Marc Voci, owner of Marc Voci Salon in Folsom, surprised Nanette Garvey Sunday
with a makeover. Voci and his crew from
his "Style Me Hired" makeover show knocked on Garvey's door Sunday
morning. The single mother of five said "I've
never had anything like this happen to me".
She was whisked away to the salon
where stylists gave her a new hairdo and clothing from Clothes Mentor in West
Chester. Voci has been doing these monthly makeovers for the past two years. He
says it's about "Local businesses teaming up, same mindset, to help these women
and men in this economy and try to bring some joy to this world."
Just last
month Voci surprised a woman whose home was damaged in Hurricane Sandy. "Not only did we give her a makeover, we had
her house fixed for free" said Voci.
Garvey won
the makeover by filling out a card at the salon. "I thought, let me try, it
could be something that could give me a new lease, you know, a new beginning
for me and my kids" she said. Garvey
recently lost her home and is looking for a new job.
The new
look was only part of the prize though.
Voci also arranged for Garvey to have an interview. He also teamed up with the Milmont Park fire
company to deliver Christmas presents to Garvey's children.
"The holiday spirit is alive and
well in Delaware County" said Voci.

Rain moved in Saturday afternoon and the chance for it will stick around through the seven day forecast.
It becomes very unsettled across our area with clounds and showers again Sunday. The best chance for rain is in the morning and afternoon thunderstorms are possible towards our south.
Sunday is cool but we do warm up well into the 80s by Tuesday. With the warm weather comes a better chance for thunderstorms.
