"I think many of us take for granted the safety of our children, but Child Abuse Prevention Month reminds us that so many of our children are suffering in their homes at the hands of abuse, and it's an honor for us to support the wonderful program that Childhelp offers, where kids have an opportunity to heal physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually," said Gloria Harding, co-owner of Tranquility Day Spa & Salon in Haymarket and Manassas, Va. "Tranquility is hoping the April haircuts help give awareness to the issue of child abuse and provide opportunities for our community to make a difference," said Harding.
