WHAT IS 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 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 had wanted to do this my entire life and like most things, it had been on the bucket list for a while, so I knew it was time. I chopped 15" off and people were stunned. I felt fabulous! Not only could those two rug-rats below no longer yank on my hair... some beautiful child was going to receive a heartfelt gift and boost of confidence from ME! What a great experience.
