Editor, Gazette-Journal:

We live in a small community that is often criticized for its limited resources. But recently a family of four young boys have been blessed by many, both in Mathews and Gloucester counties. They have received a new home, a fresh start and will begin their school year with awesome haircuts donated by The Hair Vault on Main Street in Gloucester.

Although they are a new hair styling studio, Cherie Cook and her business partner invited the four Mathews boys to come to their salon, pick styles from an iPad and send them off to a successful first day of school at Lee-Jackson Elementary and Thomas Hunter Middle schools. Please support a business that provides precision cuts and kindness to many.
