Skopje, 11 May 2021 (MIA) - Progress is possible, and if we support each other and keep each other motivated and strong, we can do a lot more. We can touch infinity in order to bring smiles to people’s faces, says Sashka Kuzmanova, a young woman from Kavadarci, who is the founder of Infinity Life KS. She tells MIA that Infinity Life KS is a new wig-making business, producing wigs from natural, undamaged hairs for cancer patients, which is something that didn’t exist in Macedonia until now. “After doing charity work for a long time, facing the worst illness of all – cancer, and long-term internet research and foreign contacts, I came to the conclusion that Macedonia needs a wig-making branch, in order to help those who need it most. This is something that hasn’t existed in Macedonia until now, and the project is making wigs from natural, un-dyed and undamaged hair,” Kuzmanova states. The goal of the project is to make wigs for cancer patients and to make it easier to purchase them, as well as to improve the psychological condition of these people, who face hair loss due to the illness. “After working hard on the project and consulting experts, I asked for a meeting at the Ministry of Health, where they supported the idea and fully backed it up. From there, I submitted it to Mitko Janchev and the Kozhuvchanka and Sinalko Kavadarci companies, where I was given full support and sponsorship. The Slovak embassy in Macedonia, ambassador Henrik Markus and his wife also fully supported me. I’m also backed up by a lot of organizations and associations. I’m in the middle of negotiations with some other companies where the project is to be presented and for contracts to be signed,” Kuzmanova says. As the young entrepreneur says, the good news is that the people who have suffered hair loss as a result of cancer will be eligible for a partial refund of the money they spent on a wig through the Health Insurance Fund. These wigs will be available to everyone, but cancer patients will get priority. “The wigs will be affordable, because cancer patients will be able to obtain them through refunds, in cooperation with the Ministry of Health and the Fund, but they will also be affordable to everyone else,” Kuzmanova says. The company begins its business with three employees and future cooperation with more companies is expected, she adds The next step is to draw up contracts with multiple hair salons, and the first two wigs that get made will be donated.
