Donor Stories Mike's Story

My husband Scott was in a serious automobile accident, leaving him with
severe brain injury. Along his long road to recovery, learning to
walk, talk and eat again, some very dear friends took part in a benefit
held on Scott's behalf. One friend in particular, Mike, raised
over $2,500.00 in a unique way.Mike had been growing his hair for as long as he can remember, refusing
to cut it even for his daughter's wedding. He always said the
right reason would come along that would make it all worthwhile.
It was fortunate for us that he chose this benefit for the worthwhile
event in which he would cut his hair. He took pledges on getting
his hair cut, the person pledging the most money per inch would be the
one to cut his hair. Besides the many donations given, just for
the fact that he would be cutting his hair, one person paid $500.00 for
the privilege of cutting off his ponytail and another person paid over
$500.00 for the privilege of then shaving his head. Mike's hair
was cut and his head shaved during the benefit. What a heartfelt
event to see, not only Mike's donation but also the outpouring of
donations from our friends. We are ever grateful. We cannot think of a better place to donate this hair, in Mike's name, than to Wigs for Kids. We hope that some young person will benefit and have a fuller life because of it. I am including Mike's name and address, as we would like the acknowledgement, thank you card and/or recognition sent to him for the donation. Sincerely, Scott & Kathy |
