Why Zoe Donates Hair

Zoe saw a video at vacation bible school two years ago about a little girl who lost all her hair due to cancer and how another little girl donated her hair to make wigs. She set her little heart to do the same thing, so for two years Zoe grew her hair just so she could donate it. She is such a great kid, and her heart is for people. Thank you for all you do Wigs for Kids!

Why Jailyn Donates Hair

Jailyn decided she would donate her hair after seeing all the hair that was just being thrown away at the salon, she asked why it wasn’t being donated and they told her it wasn’t long enough, after learning hers was she asked for it to be cut so she could give it to a child who would love it as much as she has. Jailyn loved her hair so much and I never thought she would cut it so I knew this was special to her.
