I'm chopping my hair and need your help!
I have made the decision to make a difference by cutting and donating my hair to be made into a wig for someone who has lost their hair due to a medical condition.
I have been growing my hair for about 8 years (my lifetime) and I love my hair very much. I'll be chopping off 36cm as a donation to be made into a wig and help someone in need.
Wigs cost families up to $6,000, lasting 1-2 years, meaning families can spend tens of thousands of dollars on the purchase of wigs throughout a child’s youth. By making a donation to Variety - the Children's Charity, you can help provide a wig or other vital equipment to a child in need.
Any small amount you can give would be greatly appreciated. It’s a secure online payment via card or PayPal. Thank you for helping kids in need.

Dear Joanna, You are so brave to help all the other kiddies who don't have hair. Well done! You get a triple gold star from me. Your hair will make someone feel better and beautiful. Remember it's the person that makes someone beautiful not just the hair. Anyway, they will appreciate long hair like yours and your hair will grow back sooner than later. Don't forget to share your before and after photo and hope you get a cool haircut. Gosh there are so many hairstyles to choose. Finally good luck with the fundraiser!!!! Cheers Maggie from CBA
