         Hill enrolled(注册) in a wig-making  28   in New York.Back home with what she learned, she started making wigs that she planned to   29   for $300 each.

         But many of her customers with alopecia and cancer couldn’t  30  that much, and their health insurance often didn’t  31  the cost.So Hill started giving the wigs away, eventually spending $10,000 of her own money.Last year, she and her friend Lita Warren  32  Pink Barrette, a non-profit organization that has  33   about 60 wigs to poor women.

         Hill pays  34   the donations with profits from her other products.  35   , she and her husband have also spent much of their savings keeping the organization running.

         Hill’s customers can’t thank her enough.Elyssa Montoya was too   36  to be seen in public with her  37   thinning hair.“I didn’t feel I could show my bald head outside.Thanks to Mika, I now have beautiful hair, and feel 38   about myself again.”
