I’m not sure why everyone seems to be getting hair cuts just as winter is beginning, but they are. Here’s hoping Shelby Pyle, Katelyn Rozankowski, Dolores Rosas and Chelsea Plishka each got a hat for Christmas. All four Marco Island middle school students donated their ponytails to Locks of Love.

The kindness keeps on coming! Taylor Thompson of Binghamton is just seven years old, but she’s recently donated her ponytail to Locks of Love. Taylor, too, has a personal connection: both of her grandfathers were killed by cancer. But, there are more childlike concerns as well. From her lips to our ears: “I think a […]
I’m back from a festive Christmas Day, and am pleasantly greeted with the story of Russell Schoemer, a young man of 15 who has recently donated hair to Locks of Love. Like many, Russell has personal motivations for his actions; his grandfather, aunt and a family friend have all been killed by cancer. Another aunt […]

Hey Douglas County, Oregon, residents!
