Leila's Hair with Heart challenge

Hair with Heart

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'll be chopping off 40cm in late August.

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. Thank you for helping kids in need.

Amazing Generosity πŸ’“

Wednesday 29th Jul
Thanks to all of our wonderful family and friends who have donated so generously to Leila's fundraiser, and to this wonderful and very worthy cause πŸ™

Because of your generous contributions Leila has raised over 180% of her original $1000 goal. We are now aiming to reach $2000 for Variety, and will be chopping those locks very soon!

Hey dear friends and family πŸ₯°Β 

The time has finally come for me to have the chop and pass on this hair to someone who needs it more than I do πŸ’“

My target is to raise $1000 for kids who need to wear a wig, and I will also be donating at least 40cm of my very long hair to this cause as well πŸ’‡πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

So if you can spare a few bucks for this worthy cause, please help out by donating to my fundraiser πŸ’Έ

I will post a video and some before and after pics after the big chop βœ‚οΈ

Thanks for all the support
