Just wanted you to know that Cora continues to bless people and make a difference through her legacy.<br /><br />http://joyfuldomesticity.com/?p=1302Melissa Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12487515735262185690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042178429812658517.post-36867308993157132542011-02-21T08:29:45.997-06:002011-02-21T08:29:45.997-06:00Very sad.

Cancer patients don't need expensive wigs made from human hair because their hair will grow back. L-O-L has thousands of Better Business Bureau complaints against them. It's sad to see people who take the time to have beautiful hair and then chop it off. You didn't help anyone. If you want to help, donate to the cancer organizations<br />that provide non-human hair wigs (that DO look real) and other support to cancer patients. If you have beautiful hair, keep it, let your husband or boyfriend<br />enjoy it...it's a much greater reward.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09832216766724022231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042178429812658517.post-55294245478598544932010-09-13T21:07:21.299-05:002010-09-13T21:07:21.299-05:00I don't think I've ever commented on your ...I don't think I've ever commented on your blog before, though I've been a faithful reader since your blog was brought to my attention around the time Cora got sick. Anyway, my 7.5-year-old daughter just got 10 inches cut off her hair today for Locks of Love. She's been growing it out for just over a year. A little girl (she's 5 now) in our church was diagnosed with leukemia (AML) 2 years ago and lost all her hair during her treatment. When my daughter saw that she felt sad and asked lots of questions about why her hair fell out. When we got to talking about it all and I explained that some kids get wigs to wear while their own hair has fallen out. She decided to grow her hair out. My little girl is blessed with VERY thick hair, so I told her that I'm pretty sure her 10 inches will go a long ways towards making a nice wig for a little girl who needs it. Love your new haircut and love that you gave your hair to such a great cause!Jacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02193287034032674584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042178429812658517.post-35139775367887795162010-09-04T14:20:27.076-05:002010-09-04T14:20:27.076-05:00Jess...I did this about a year ago!

I've been waiting to cut it b/c of an upcoming half-marathon I'm running in. I need to be able to pull it back.
