Locks of love

[cyber-sibes]

My friend's daughter donated her hair, which was so cool of her , she was about 8 yrs. old at the time. Don't know much else about them, but that's wonderful that you are donating what you won't be "using".

I almost suggested "Locks of Love" to you, yesterday, when I read your post about your hair, Missy. I haven't done it, personally, as they wouldn't want my "dyed" hair, but I have many friends who have done it. I think it is a very worthy cause.

The only things that are bothering me about the whole thing are some of their financial practices. Not all of the kids get these wigs for free. They charge the parents based on a what they make in a year. Besides that they won't consider many kids undergoing Chemo because that is considered a "temporary" condition.
I know that they have to stay afloat but I read an article stating that they sell hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of donated hair to commercial wig manufacturers and don't even produce all that many wigs.... I just don't know..
Here is the wikipedia article that a friend on another forum brought up to me.

I'm definately going to do more research before I give them my hair
