Locks of Love

Most people enjoy helping others because it makes them feel good and because it gives them an opportunity to serve someone other than themselves. It doesn't always take money to help people in need. But, not everyone knows how or what to contribute. Or sometimes they feel awkward about it.

My daughter is a young mom, with little time to donate to the community because her toddlers keep her busy. She also doesn't have spare cash. But, she has beautiful hair, which she recently donated to Locks of Love.

Locks of Love is a non-profit organization that provides the highest quality prostheses to disadvantaged American and Canadian children who have lost their hair due to illness or disease. Qualifying children are eligible to apply for a new prosthesis every 18 months. Locks of Love accepts real hair donations of 10 inches and longer. My daughter sent a foot long pony tail to the organization and had enough to spare for a medium length haircut.
