Please check out the photo I posted in the Expressions Gallery of my niece who recently cut 20 inches of her hair off and donated it to Locks Of Love to be made into a wig for a child in need. She has selflessly done this four times. I am truly in awe of her.

    That is Awesome
    That is so AWESOME. I donated my hair prior to losing it. They made 4 ponytails out of it. I had a lot of hair. I miss my locks. But when a note came in thanking me for the hair donation and telling me I made some childs day, it was one of the most rewarding things I have ever done.

    Hats off to your niece!!!

    AWESOME
    What an AWESOME thing to do! It must take her such a long time to grow it that long and she's done it 4 times?!?! This is a young lady with a very big heart! God bless her and the children she provides for!

    Locks of Love
    I think Locks of Love is a great way to help those who have lost their hair. Your niece has done a wonderful thing. I have 2 nieces that do this also. I don't know how often they have given their hair, but I know one of them did donate again at Christmas this year. These young ladies are true inspirations. Connie

    I am in awe of her too! Please tell her I said "Thank you!" She clearly has a strong sense of empathy and a desire to make a difference in this world. We need more young people like her. She will continue to do great things for society... Now that is an inspiration! Pitt
