We're getting started a little early on the giving part of holiday season. After having a talk about helping sick children Adelynn agreed to have her hair cut and donate it. I'm not sure if she understood everything I told her, but the 'helping other children' part made her smile.
Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada under age 21 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. They meet a unique need for children by using donated hair to create quality hair prosthetics. Most of the children helped by Locks of Love have lost their hair due to a medical condition called alopecia areata, which has no known cause or cure. The prostheses they provide helps to restore their self-esteem and their confidence, enabling them to face the world and their peers.
They need 10 inches minimum to make a wig. Find out more at:
Maybe you could consider donating if your hair is long enough :)

Whoa!
She asked "Can I take it home?".
The new Adelynn!
