Silk Hope – Charitable Project
Silk Hope is a project aimed at supporting women who have lost their hair due to chemotherapy. Our mission is to bring dignity, femininity, and psychological relief to women during one of the most challenging periods of their lives. Through high-quality silk scarves, we help patients regain self-confidence and feel attractive despite the physical changes brought by chemotherapy.
The project, created in cooperation with Združenie priateľov NOÚ and photographer and image consultant Jana Keketi, who is behind this inspiring idea, provides oncology patients with artistically designed silk scarves free of charge, thanks to its partners.
We thank the following public figures for their support and for lending their faces to the Silk Hope campaign:
Monika Hilmerová, Dominika Cibulková, Soňa Skoncová, Eva Verešová, Mária Čírová, Alena Heribanová, Andrea Götzlová, Adriana Kmotríková, Veronika Strapková, Soňa Můllerová, Jana Brisudová, Mirka Malejčíková.
How We Help
Our silk scarves provide several benefits to patients:
- Psychological support: They help women maintain a positive self-image and dignity during treatment.
- Practical help: The silk material is gentle on sensitive scalps after chemotherapy.
- Boosted self-confidence: They allow women to feel attractive and feminine despite hair loss.
- Social integration: They reduce anxieties about social interactions and feelings of stigmatization.
- Motivation for treatment: Better psychological well-being contributes to a positive approach to treatment.
The first series of silk scarves received an extraordinary response and confirmed that this form of support is immensely valuable to patients. We receive touching feedback from women whose lives have been made easier by our scarves during the challenging period of treatment.
