Ashland High senior Julia Doucette recently made her sixth hair donation to Locks of Love. “It’s a family tradition,” Doucette said. “My sister, Zoe, my mom and I have donated every couple of years since I was little. It feels good knowing our hair can help children feel better about themselves during a rough time.”
Locks of Love is a non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children under age 21 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis.
Others wishing to donate should be able to contribute 10 inches or more; hair must be in ponytails or braids before it is cut. Locks of Love also welcomes financial donations to help defray the cost of making the hairpieces. For more information, visit locksoflove.org.
