Just got done shaving off about 6-8 inches of hair, and the barber told me I could probably donate it to someone to make wigs for kids with cancer. I searched for it, but I couldn’t find a specific name of an organization to contact about donating it. Just trying to find out the name of it 🙂

the barber mentioned something about “locks-something”. Seems that this is it.

Thank you, beegirl 🙂
