Yasmina's Locks of Love




Last Saturday, four year old Yasmina (my cousin's daughter), had a big event! She had her very first haircut... and for a good cause too :-) She donated 11 inches of her hair to Locks of Love. Basically her mom and dad were talking about it for a while, how it is nice to donate locks of your hair to little kids who are sick and lost their hair due to sickness...

Yaya... very proud of you little princess :-)


Check this video out!



Kids have pure hearts!

That's so sweet of Yasmina. And so sweet of her parents as well. She looks adorable with the short hair ;)

The ad is very touching! It made me smile out of the blue.

Although Quentin never needed a wig (he lost his hair during treatments but he was 1, a bald head sort of fit), we've met other kids who did want a wig and Locks of Love helped them. Tell Yasmina that we thank her too for thinking of others.

It's a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to children in the US and Canada suffering from medical hair loss from any diagnosis.

Check their website for more on it
