8 Years And 12 Inches To Go

Published: August 16, 2007

Hannah Maggiore at Coral Springs is eight years old and with a sense of purpose. She’s cutting off 12 inches of blonde hair for those who need it more than she: children suffering from illness.

At six, she gave up 14 inches. At a hair salon on Tuesday in Broward, the little girl is doing it again, helping children regain their confidence especially to those who lost their hair due cancer.

The donation of hair is going to an organization called “Locks of Love”, a well-established nonprofit organization dedicated to gathering donated hair for children’s wigs.

This group provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children across the U.S. who suffer from long-term medical hair loss. These children receive custom-made and fitted wigs made from donated human hair for free or on a sliding scale based on need.
