I cut my hair! What would possess me to do such a thing? For the shortest cut I've had in many, many years? Well, it's called "Locks of Love" and here's what they do:
"Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada under age 21 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. We meet a unique need for children by using donated hair to create the highest quality hair prosthetics. Most of the children helped by Locks of Love have lost their hair due to a medical condition called alopecia areata, which has no known cause or cure. The prostheses we provide help to restore their self-esteem and their confidence, enabling them to face the world and their peers."
I donated my hair in honor of Dr. O, our dear friend and the grandfather of my goddaughter. He is a cancer survivor, and in his case, bald is sexy. :~) If you would like to help, and don't have 10 inches of hair to donate, there are other ways to give! Check them out here. And the finished product looks like this!
