Locks of Love

[imabrat]

Has anyone ever donated their hair to Locks of Love?Just curious because I don't know many people who do!I am donating this summer!!!

 

[Daisymae26]

My sister donated her hair last year I think. That's awesome that you're doing that! How long is your hair?

(My hair isn't long enough to donate...I would have to get it chopped off really close to my head, and that's a no-no... )

DD (StitchfansJr) did about 2 years ago. Her hair is almost long enough to donate it again. That is a very good organization!

 

[MuNkY]

Nope.

I'm sorry, but I'm really, REALLY pickey when it comes to charities. I mean, I don't donate anything to the Salvation Army because I know there are a lot of people shopping there who can afford to shop somewhere else.

Really the only thing like that I'll give anything to is the American Red Cross. So no, I havn't.

no, my hair was long enough, but i didnt want to cut that much off, i like having hair!!!

Lol. Kinda sorta what I was thinking.

My hair is my hair. I'm sorry, but I like it, and I'm going to keep it.

I never have (I won't stand to have my hair long enough; I like mine shorter), but my sister tried to. Mom and her reminded the lady plenty of times, but then, while she was cutting it, some other person came by and swept it all up and dumped it in a trashcan! Yeah, they didn't try that again; long hair had annoyed my sister.

For Salvation Army, isnt it like recycling clothes?? Such as you buy the shirt for X dollars and so much of that goes to charity?

 

[IrishTink]

I have! My hair is really really thick and red/auburn so they were prolly able to make 3 wigs out of ny hair (hehe). That's really great that u're doing that.

It's supposed to be for people who can't afford to shop at Wal-Mart and Kohls and whatnot. Essentially the homeless. But cheap morons always shop there.

Alot of people shop there. I have shopped their if I need a ________ for a project like a stroller and something and cant spend 50$ on a stroller just for one project.

My sister did last year,she gave alot of hair.(she grew it veeeeeeerrrrrrrry long)

 

[soccerfreak_08]

My sister has. I never have because my hair is really thick and I get horrible headaches when it gets to a certain length. If I could I would though! It is a wonderful cause!

Not true, punkin'! Salvation army stores, as are Goodwill and Habitat for Humanity homestores, are so ANYONE can purchase those items, and the money is put back into the agency. People who shop there are certainly not morons! Neither are the people who donate (who, incidentally, usually aren't doing out of the goodness of their hearts, they're getting a tax receipt for usually more than the value of what they've given, so that they may reduce the taxes they pay for that calendar year)...yes, those stores are a good avenue for people who don't have much money to buy clothing and household goods, but if it were just up to the poor to support those stores, they'd go out of business in record time. Think about it. 100 poor people buying a few bits and pieces of clothing are NOT going to pay the 2000-3000. a month most of those stores pay in rental fees. For the record...I'm not a moron. I buy things at those stores and sell them on Ebay...I bought a suitcase for 7.99, sold it for 289. plus an additional 45. for shipping...who's the moron???Certainly not me! Nor was I when I bought an indian trapper blanket for 3.00, and sold it for 82...or the bean grinder for 20, sold for 279. + 75.00 shipping. If that makes me a moron, I'm one heck of a happy moron!

Calm down. I wasn't calling you a moron personally. I was just trying to say, there are people who certainly don't need to shop there. I know people with six figure salaries who shop at salvation army.

Wow! I am sensing some bad vibes in this thread...

Hello!! Thought this was suppose to be about Locks of Love, not Goodwill or Salvation Army.

Locks of Love gives all the hair pieces to children with cancer. You think your hair is important? Try not having any hair. This is a great group that is truly trying to make a difference in how a child (or teen) feels about themselves under the worst possible condition.

You would be amazed at how fast your hair will grow back and how good you will feel about yourself after you have helped someone else.
