When Emerald Day Spa owner, Jenny Marafurova received the email from her twins' sixth-grade teacher at Belle Terre Elementary, about Cameron Higgins having a serious medical issue, she knew immediately she wanted to help.

“My twins, Nonna and David Hasan, are classmates of Cameron,” she said. “My mom passed away in 2013, and I know how it is having medical bills, and not having insurance, and how hard it is.”

Marafurova decided to use her new business, Emerald Day Spa, which she opened in January, to raise money for the family. From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday, April 24 the spa will be open specifically for a Cut-a-thon for Cameron.

On this day the spa will offer hair cuts only, no color or blowout, at half price, and massages for $1 a minute, with 100 % of the proceeds going to the Higgins family for medical expenses. In addition, Marafurova said all of the spa products will be reduced 10%.

“We are also going to have some refreshments,” Marafurova said. “Pappa Johns said they would provide some refreshments.”

The salon has contributed to others in need, including “Locks of Love,” and, in the future, she will have additional cut a thons, to help Cameron, and her massage therapist, a mother of four, whose house recently burned down.
