Locks of Love - Mission Statement

Our mission is to return a sense of self, confidence and normalcy to children suffering from hair loss by utilizing donated ponytails to provide the highest quality hair prosthetics to financially disadvantaged children. The children receive hair prostheses free of charge or on a sliding scale, based on financial need.

http://www.locksoflove.org/

As children sometimes do, our 3 1/2 year old grand daughter, Lexi, found a pair of scissors, snipped a bit of her hair, took it to her mom and said she wanted to give it to the little girl.  Previously, Lexi's  mom had talked to her about it, but Lexi wasn't ready.

This is her story.

This is the second time for Lexi to send her hair to Locks of Love.  I tried to get her to do the same pose in some of the later pictures, but she didn't quite understand. Still, we got close.  Pictures 35 through 40.  There is a big maturity difference from December 2009 to July 2011.
