Claire is a spirited 10-year old living with the effects of linear scleroderma, diagnosed at 4 years old.  Despite the trials she has experienced, her heart is still extraordinarily large.  She decided months ago to grow her hair to donate.  "Maybe my hair will go to someone with scleroderma!  Or cancer!!"

Claire has an intensely tender head and must be a back sleeper considering the daily rat's nest that developed (even with silk pillowcases) on the back of her head.  She has spent her brushings crying out (or trying not to cry) into a pillow, punching her bed or pillows (and sometimes her mom on accident) and/or squishing her foam shapes to disperse the pain.  Despite the pain, she has insisted on growing it for the sake of another child benefiting.

With Hair We Share for $125, we will be able to track her hair through the process, and then she (WE, you and I) will be able to see the final wig her hair was used to make.  When possible, ON the recipient of the wig!!  We would love her to see where all her tears and heart went.  I thought I would share her journey with you in case you'd like to join us!

It takes about a thousand dollars (many times more) to create JUST ONE wig and takes up to FOUR MONTHS from receipt of hair to final placement.  Any donations over the goal amount will help fund other hair campaigns.

Please click the Donate button to donate if you feel so inclined. (And if not, THAT'S TOTALLY OK!!!!!  Leave an encouraging word for Claire!  Well wishes!  She would love that encouragement!!)  

Oh, and feel free to share!! :)

In gratitude,

Claire's mother, Christine
