Human hair wigs DO cost alot of money.

My daughter, who lost her hair from chemotherapy after a malignant brain tumor, has been wearing wigs, both real and synthetic for over 12 years. Her hair never grew back and no one can tell that she wears wigs (except when I dare her to flip her wig off at someone at a stop light ).

Whenever she gets new wigs, she donates her other ones to a program through the American Cancer Society. They are then given to people who have or had cancer and lost their hair and cannot afford to buy them. My kid, who only buys the best, had some nice wigs. I think it's a wonderful program, along with Locks of Love. My best friend's daughter had hair down to her butt when my daughter was diagnosed. She purposely had her hair cut to shoulder length in honor of my daughter. These two girls are bonded in a very special way.

Buckner,

I never heard of the scandle . I'd be interested to see something on it. I'm gonna go research it. I don't blame you if you feel that way. Maybe there IS another organization that does something similar to Locks of Love, only doesn't sell the hair.

There was a scandal a while ago about Make a Wish Foundation as well. Supposedly they were raking in lots of money and almost none of it went to helping kids with terminally ill diseases realize their wish. Not sure how it turned out of even if it was true or not.
