Hey There, Long-Hair - Locks of Love Needs YOU!
Author's Hair Next to 16 1/2" Hell's Belle Bowie
Recently, I saw a web site dedicated to helping
sick kids called Locks
of Love, and after seeing it, I knew I
wanted to help out. As EEK! the Cat says,
"It never hurts to help!"
Locks of
Love is a not-for-profit organization that
provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children under the
age of 18 with medical hair loss. Since 1997 they have helped over
1000 children by providing free or inexpensive custom, vacuum-fitted
hairpieces made entirely from donated human hair.
Most of the kids suffer from an auto-immune condition called alopecia
areata, for which there is no known cause or cure. Others have
suffered severe burns, or endured radiation treatment to the brain
stem, in addition to many other dermatological conditions that result
in permanent hair loss.
* The donated hair must be at least 10 inches (preferably 12") in length
* It must be bundled in a pony tail or braid
* It must be free of hair damaged by chemical processing
* The hair must be clean and dry, placed in a plastic bag, and mailed in a padded envelope to:
