For a Good Cause

Have you ever wanted to do something good for someone else, but don't know where to start?

I get like that a lot.

 

When  I was in college, Hurricane Katrina battered the Gulf Coast. I took a two week leave from school and volunteered my time and my Spring Break to help in any way I could. I lived in a tent. It was absolutely miserable. But so rewarding at the same time.

 

After that, I started donating my time more and more. Animal shelters, cleaning closets and giving things to Goodwill. I even donated my hair once.

 

But then I found out that the company I donated to actually charge cancer stricken individuals $50.00 for a wig. I think that is wrong. Trying to make a profit off of someones sickness.

 

So my hair got long again.

Really long.

 

See below.

 

 

 

 

 

So I decided to donate it again.

And NOT tell my husband.

He was shocked, but loved it :)

I found a great company that takes your hair, at least 8 inches long.

Well, I had plenty...13 inches worth of hair.

 

If you have long hair and are thinking of getting it cut, please please please donate.

And here's a great site:

And here's the after.

Me holding all my glorious hair.

Thank God I'm not emotionally attached to my hair.

The sweet lady asked me a thousand times, 'are you sure?'

'Yes ma'am...I've done this before.'

 

And yes, the picture is hideous. I know this.

Please don't judge.

Thank you.

 

And go donate your dang hair!
