vanessa's Hair with Heart challenge

I'm chopping my hair and need your help!

I would like 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.

It took me 3 years to grow my hair since my last donation, and this time around I'll be chopping off over 30 cms, in early February.

Sadly as I get older, my hair grows slower and doesn't have the same quality. Therefore I will not be able to donate it towards a child wig. Instead I will donate it to Sustainable Salons where it can be used towards adult wigs.

I still would like to support Variety's work, which is why I am setting up this fundraiser.

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. Even a small donation can make a difference. And if you are not in a position to donate, you can help by sharing the word. You might know someone around you who would also like to take the big chop! Thank you for helping kids in need.

 

Thanks for all the support
