Renata's Big Chop

I'm chopping my hair and need your help!

You know how much I love my hair, but it'sΒ  about to serve a higher purpose. 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 36cms of my curly locks on 1 August 2021.

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.

Chop Achieved!

HAIR WITH HEART

The chop is done! Time to bundle these locks up and send them away to be transformed for someone who longs for them. In the mean time I'm in for the breeziest summer I've had in years
πŸ˜‚

I am so so so grateful for those who've supported my mission, those donations will go a long way to help get this hair ready for their future owner, and that makes my choice feel even better. I hope you all feel as full of joy as I do. Thank you team!

Pump up the Goal!

Monday 14th Jun
With several weeks until my chop on 1 August, and having gotten so close to my original goal, the collective has agreed to aim higher and see if we can bring more supporters and give an even greater contribution!

I've just raised it half a time again, to $1500, but hey if we keep moving at this pace I might be able to raise it again!

Thank you again to the folks who've joined the team by donating or promoting my fundraiser, you're taking part in supporting sick kids and their families!

Hair, Confidence and Fun

Saturday 29th May
My hair brings me joy. My curls put a spring in my step, and it's so much fun to play around with. But what would bring me more joy is sharing that with someone who longs to have curly hair, but due to a medical condition has not got hair of their own. Imagine how great it would feel for a child to be given a gift like this. Let's work together to make this happen. With my donation plus your support, we can make a dream come true for someone special!

Thanks for all the support
