Donating Hair to Children With Hair Loss

Yesterday my 8-year-old made a very mature and kind decision to cut her hair and donate it to an organization called Children With Hair Loss. I am so proud of my Samantha and just love that she chose to do this all on her own.

Today I'm sharing Samantha's new 'do and how you can donate your hair to Children With Hair Loss.

A few days ago I was looking online at Locks of Love to see if I could donate my hair. I have colored/bleached hair, so it is not an option for me right now. Samantha peeked over my shoulder and asked what I was looking at. I explained that there are children who have lost their hair due to cancer or other illnesses. Some people choose to cut their hair and donate it so it can be made into wigs for those children.

Without hesitation she declared, "I'm going to cut my hair and give it to those kids." I was taken aback at first because she adored her long hair and had vowed she would never cut it. I warned her that they would need to cut around 10 inches and that her hair would be short. My sweet little 8 year old replied with the most selfless answer: "I don't mind. I don't want bald kids to have cold heads."

With that settled I researched how she could donate her hair. After reading an article by Forbes I decided that Locks of Love wasn't a good match for us, and found Children With Hair Loss.
Children With Hair Loss is a nonprofit organization that provides a customized human hair replacement and care kit to over 300 children a year. They opened in 2000 and to this day have never charged a child for hair replacement. 


Now that we had a plan we took a few last long hair pictures and headed to the salon. This was only Sammy's second time getting her hair cut and she loved every minute of it. 





In the end she donated 10 inches in length. She loves her new hairdo and is so proud of herself. Mommy and Daddy and super proud of her too. Samantha is already planning to donate again once her hair grows back out. 





Donating to Children With Hair Loss is easy:

Hair must be at least 8 inches or longer, and in a clean, dry ponytail or braid.
Place in a ziplock bag.
Print and fill out the donation form.
Place the form and ziplock bag in an envelope and mail to Children With Hair Loss.

  3. لو كان لديك أى مؤشر يؤكد وجود النمل الأبيض في منزلك، فمن الأجود الاتصال مع ماهر ومتمرس مختص في مكافحة الحشرات مباشرة. أما إذا كنت تريد القيام بالمهمة بنفسك فيجب أن تدرك أن التداول مع النمل الأبيض يفتقر إلى خبرة ومهارة كافية حتى تبلغ إلى الأماكن التي تختبئ فيها الحشرة وتتعرف على نوع النمل الأبيض المتواجد أمامك والأهم من هذا إختيار إسلوب الدواء الموائم للقضاء عليه.

    يظن القلة أن إستخدام المبيدات الكيميائية قد يعاون في قتل النمل الأبيض تعويضًا من صرف الثروات لشركات المكافحة، حسنًا؛ إلا أن هذه السلع قد لا تناسب الحشرة المتواجدة في منزلك والأسوأ من هذا أن أكثرية السلع تتضمن على مواد سامة تؤثر على نحو سلبي على حياة الأطفال وذلك قد يعرضك إلى المزيد من الأضرار وأنت في غنى عنها.

  5. More dangerous than that is that if it is left for a long time, it makes this wall fragile, and this exposes it to making cracks in the wall if this wall is good or makes it close to falling if this wall is old and this is what should be warned, so do not expose yourself to all these issues and faster to solve the leakage problem .

    From one type to another, but in all types of leaks it cannot be left as leaving the leak for long periods will have great consequences and the reason behind this is that the water leakage interacts with building materials and makes some stains in the walls and walls and the color of this spot is green or black depending on the period of leakage.
