For a school project, my daughter decided to support Locks of Love. You can see her story here.
Well actually this started out as a family project a couple of years ago. We had several people that were close to us, in a very short amount of time end up with a diagnosis of cancer.
When you get that kind of news from someone you know, you immediately imagine all of the ways you could help. But all of those ways quickly become overwhelming not only to you the giver, but also the recipient.
As a family we decided that our best opportunity for help would be to donate our hair. We donated in the name of those we felt we could honor.
This last year, as a school project my daughter Kel, needed to find a kind of "pay it forward" project. For her, at least I think, it was a fairly easy decision. Locks of Love!
The school that she attends, does not just do a few weeks on anything. This project is called "Year of Service" for a reason. Because of the extended time on the project, and all of our hair being long enough to donate again, she chose to cut it all off.
Well, I'll let her tell you. :) This is the beginning of her story. In "My Project" she talks about some of the reasons, and consequences of the decision to give away all of her hair.
Take a look and tell her what you think.
Thank you
Sincerely,
Staci
