In a world where illness strikes people of all ages, even children, the smallest measure of hope and kindness is greatly appreciated, yet is sometimes hard to find. Children are faced with hardships that many adults would find impossible to endure, such as losing all their hair, including eyebrows and eyelashes, to physical ailments or cancer treatments.
Luckily there is hope for people under the age of eighteen who have permanent or semi-permanent hair loss resulting from health problems. Locks Of Love is a nonprofit organization that gives real human hair wigs to these children.
Here are some guidelines Locks Of Love goes by in accepting donated hair:
1. The hair must be at least ten inches long, sent in the form of a braid or ponytail
2. It can't be hair that has ever been dyed
3. Hair can't be wet or dirty
4. Packed in a clear sealable bag and mailed to Locks Of Love.
When it comes to doing charity work, one must realize that others need what we have more than we do. You can easily go with a cute short 'do for the winter time. A child who could receive your hair wig might make his holiday season a truly joyful one.
