After over a year of contemplating, Lila has decided to donate 12" of her hair to Locks of Love. The minimum donation is 10" but they prefer 12". I am having 2 girls from work participate as well and putting an ad on Craigslist for anyone else who is interested in donating. I have also contacted the News Tribune to see if they can put a little blurb, maybe in the open mike section, to have people contact me if they want to donate. Alot of people are under the misconception that if their hair is colored or permed that they can not donate. Not true! If your hair is bleached or highlighted they can't use it because it breaks down too fast. But regular color is okay. If you know anyone that has long hair put a little bug in their ear and have them contact me. We are probably going to do it in August. It cost $3500.00-$6000.000 and up to 10 hair donations to make one prostheses hair piece. Locks of Love custom fits the requesting child and charges them nothing if they can't afford it. The least we can do is help them by donating our hair!

Abby can't wait to see you in your new "do," Lila! Abby is growing hers out again to donate for the third time ... think we probably have at least another year to go, though.
Jesus loves your generous heart, Lila! And we love that about you, too!!!
