Thankful Thursdays: GOT HAIR? Donate to Locks of Love!

Thankful Thursdays: Locks of Love

I was feeling the need for a change after having surgery due to the Blahs, so I called and made an appointment to get my hair done.

While I was there, I thought maybe I'd try a different hairstyle and well...This week I donated my hair to a great cause, Locks of Love!

Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada under age 18 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 am thrilled to know that I donated my hair to such a worthy cause...to help children feel better about themselves!

Special thanks to Katie Reeder, owner of Studio 359 hair salon.
