A

Locks of Love is devoted to helping every child suffering from medical hair lass and thus we

do not discriminate as to the cause of hair loss, We list the following information in an attempt to

explain types of hair loss and specific needs of individual receivers.

You Should Know

Locks of Love is not a manufacturer of any type of hair replacement system or hair care

product. We are only a charity and try our best to help our hair receivers.

Who We Service

Our receivers are financially

Disadvantaged children aged 21 and under and suffering from medical hair loss. Others are

victims of severe bums

，

cancer survivors, Or suffering from any number of skin disorders that

cause permanent hair 1ess.

Why We Are Needed

：

There

are

several

problems

facing

children

who

suffer

long-term

medical

hair

loss

Most

wigs(

假发

)sold

by

retailers

are

made

to

fit

adult

heads

，

and

are

much

too

big

for

children to wear. They often require the use of glue to keep them from falling off. And the

glue can burn the scalp(

头皮

)

Guidelines For Acceptable Donations

Hair that is colored is acceptable.

Hair that has been bleached(

漂白

)is not Usable

，

We are not able to accept bleached

hair due to a chemical reaction that occurs during the manufacturing process.

Layered hair is acceptable if the longest layer is 10 inches.

Curly hair may be pulled straight to measure at least 10 inches.

Please Note:

Locks of Love does not provide information regarding donations that we receive.

ing to the passage. Locks of Love_______

A. treats all the hair receivers equally

B. gives a hand to Whoever loses their hair

you want to donate your hair to Locks of Love

B

In

the

animal

kingdom

，

weakness

can

bring

about

aggression

in

other

animal

．

This

sometimes

happens

with

humans

also

．

But

I

have

found

that

my

weakness

brings

out

the

kindness in people

．

I see it every day when people hold doors for me

，

pour cream into my

coffee

，

or help me to put on my coat

．

And I have

discovered that it makes them happy

．

From my wheelchair experience

，

I see the best in people

，

bur sometimes I feel sad because

those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily

．

They don't get to see this soft side

of others often

，

we try bevery way possible to avoid showing our weakness

，

which includes a lot

of pretending

．

But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to

5

show the kindness that's in them

．

Last month

，

when I was driving home on a busy highway

，

I began to feel unwell and drove

more

slowly

than

usual

．

People

behind

me

began

to

get

impatient

and

angry

，

with

some

speeding up alongside me

，

horning

（

按喇叭）

or even shouting at me

．

At the moment I decided

to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving

．

I put on the car flashlights and

drove on at a really low speed

．

No more angry shouts and no more horns!

When I put on my flashlights

，

I was saying to other drivers

，

．

I am

weak and doing the best I can

．

．

Several times

，

I saw drivers who

wanted

to

pass

．

They

couldn't

get

around

me

because

of

the

stream

of

passing

traffic

．

But

instead of getting impatient and angry

，

they waited

，

knowing the driver in front of them was in

some way weak

．

Sometimes

situations

call

for

us

to

act

strong

and

brave

even

when

we

don't

feel

that

way

．

But those are and far between

．

More often

，

it would be better if we don't pretend we

feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared

．
