Day 1 - Guys Can Donate Hair Too

Day 1 of the 30-day charity challenge.

Guys can donate their hair too. No I did not donate my actual hair but I did do something unique to help those who have lost their hair. I usually like to keep my hair pretty short. I would say I spend about $50 a month on haircuts because I get it cut about twice a month. So today I decided to cut my own hair, and then donate the $25 I saved to "Wigs 4 Kids" 

Wigs 4 Kids is a Michigan based organization that reaches out to kids and young adults with hair loss. This program is available to any child or teen through age 18 in Michigan.



Wigs 4 Kids main focus is on cancer patients and includes other young people with similar appearance related challenges that cause hair loss such as: alopecia, trichotillomania, lupus, hydrocephalus, burns and other disorders. 

Wigs 4 Kids helps children who struggle to deal with social acceptance because of physical appearance. By providing custom-fitted, age-appropriate wigs that are individually cut and styled, we help our kids feel better about their appearance and look more like their peers.

Wigs 4 Kids provides custom cut and styled wigs and services at no cost to kids and their families and accepts donations from caring individuals, companies and organizations. Wigs 4 Kids is funded solely on the basis of contributions. Any financial support received presents a greater opportunity to help kids in need of our assistance. 

This finish product is not shown but it turned out pretty good. I think I might have to cut my own hair from now on. So $25 dollars is not a lot of money considering how much it takes to design and build a wig, but every dollar is a dollar closer to the needed amount.
