Today, Kara had her long hair cut short and donated the cut off portion to Locks of Love, an organization that takes donated hair and creates wigs for children with permanent hair loss. Back in August, Hailey had donated her hair, and in July, Mariah had hers cut off. The girls all looked so different after the haircuts, especially after seeing them with long hair for so long.
The kids had first heard about Locks of Love through a friend of Mariah's who had donated her hair when she first had her hair cut short. They have since seen information about it on TV shows and various publications. The kids had all decided they wanted to grow their hair long enough to be able to donate their pony tails to help others. This committment to long hair became a little less comfortable when we moved to the Philippines and had to endure a lot of hot weather all year long. To help stay cool they generally wore their hair in pony tails or braids during this time.
We are very proud that they made a choice of helping others, and followed through with their plan. Way to go girls!
