Locks Of Love Stamp

Description

I got this idea to make a stamp from my lovely DA friend, :iconpridescrossing: who made a photomanipulation of her friend that donated her beautiful hair To Locks of love :heart: Here's the link to the photo. [link]

My young daughter Kel also donated her hair to a similar organization called Wig for Kids.
Both websites are listed below:

----

"Locks of love" - An organization that makes wigs for kids. These kids have lost their hair due to many causes. Some causes are Cancer, Alopecia, Ectodermal Dysplasia, Loose Anagen Syndrome,
Trichotillomania-Compulsive, Telogen Effluvium, and trauma-burns. I wish I could explain what causes hair loss, but I listed them so you can look it up.
Today's society places so much emphasis on appearance, and it is very difficult for children to cope with the low self-esteem that can result from hair loss. Locks of Love website [link]


"Wig for Kids" - Hair must be clean and dry. Donations MUST be braided or TIGHTLY BOUND in ponytails and secured with rubberbands one at each end of the tail AND in the middle and a minimum length donation is 12 inches. It takes 20 - 30 ponytails to create one hairpiece. You can check your local salons that offer discounted or free services. See website [link]
You can go to any of these websites and read about it.
Next time you decide to get a haircut, please consider donating it.

Heart icon is not mine it belongs to Locks of Love

You know, I used to support it. I even donated to it once.
Unfortunately though, if you donate, you're only helping kids that have lost their hair whose families have a crap ton of money for expensive wigs.
maybe I would still support if they gave the wigs away instead of selling them.
This organization is all about money, it's sad really.
