To be honest, my question doesn't really have anything to do with story research. It was triggered by something rather strange I've just noticed on a blog belonging to a woman whose ridiculous claims to be an agent/editor made her the subject of a highly entertaining BRBC thread last year.
Here's the info given on the blog:
Sisters Helping Sisters is sponsored by a hair salon owned by the blogger.
I'm fairly sure that a charitable foundation has to be registered, and I'd be amazed if this one is. AFAIK foundations don't solicit donations from the public, as SHS is doing. There are also at least two non-profit organizations with the same or an almost identical name.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Here's the info given on the blog:
SISTERS HELPING SISTERS FOUNDATION
DONATE NOW $5.00
Sisters Helping Sisters is a foundation for hair loss. We created this foundation to help women with hair loss, because we understand there are a hundred reasons why women lose their hair. The Foundation creates a 100% human wig for these women. We want to give them back their self confident, and build up the self esteem. The loss of hair causes some women their dignity, and they go into depression. We want to prevent this life style for these women.
Donor -Donation
The Foundation ask all women and men to donate $5.00 to help ship this hair to the applicant-receiver, and we ask the women to donate their human hair to these ladies that need it.
Applicant-Receiver
The Foundation ask Applicant: 1- Provide information on their hair loss 2-Provide information on their income 3- Provide information on their expenses, and 4- Provide information on their family.
We have the power to help these women so please donate your hair and $5.00 to ship the hair.
