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

    Hearts so very big...
    It is sometimes difficult to believe the body can hold them...

    Must run in your family, dear RE. :-)

    Kindest regards, Susan
