Locks of Love....a two year journey

ok. The first two pics are of me and my VERY short hair cut back in December of 2005. That is the last time i have had my hair cut. We still lived in Texas. The last two are current pics. i've cut bangs but not length. anyway, at Thanksgiving this year my sister, Connie, mentioned that i should continue growing it out and donate it to "Locks of Love". side note - i know of two people that have grown their hair out and donated it...Meagan Meaux (Friendship) and Emily Free (Calvary). I had been thinking about getting a new style when she mentioned this so i wasn't too excited aout having to continue growing it out. I had heard of "Locks of Love" but never seriously thought about growing my hair for the sole purpose to donate it to this "organization". i guess the Lord has changed my mind so now my hair has a purpose :)...

below you will find an explanation of this non-profit organization.


Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children under age 18 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. We meet a unique need for children by using donated hair to create the highest 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 we provide help to restore their self-esteem and their confidence, enabling them to face the world and their peers.

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.


I'll keep you updated on this journey....
