Morphosis Lingerie owner Betty Machin had worked in healthcare for 16 years before taking a new direction and opening her shop in Mt. Sinai near the end of 2012.
Now, Machin has decided to change course and become certified in post mastectomy fittings, a lengthy process she recently began that has led to her decision to close Morphosis.
"The transformation was amazing, it was an amazing class but it's a long road, it's a long process and it's not something I can do while having this store," Machin said.
Now, with inventory that also includes clothing for young boys and girls, Machin is looking for legitimate charities where she can donate clothes. She has already hooked up with Siena House in Port Jefferson, and is also looking for others that could use the bras, panties, pajamas, swimwear, workout wear and children's wear as well.
Machin is willing to deliver locally, she just asks that the charities be legitimate, can provide her with a receipt and that organizations that aren't local can pickup items at the store.
"I've also been running a sale for a few weeks now and quite a bit of inventory has gone," she said. "It's getting down to the nitty gritty and then we can wrap it up."
