D. Sorg Photo Claire Cunningham recently gave 10 inches from her hair
to "Wigs 4 Kids." Claire’s good hair day By Doris Sorg The Gyp Hill Premiere Claire Cunningham, 5 year-old daughter of Landon and
Andrea Cunningham, recently had her hair cut at Ultimate Effex by Mandy
Larrison. Much more than a trim, she had 10 inches removed from the
length. In a conversation between Claire and her mom, Andrea was
explaining that some children don’t have hair for a variety of reasons
such as cancer, alopecia, burns and other disorders. The thought of
helping another child by donating her hair appealed to Claire so the
research began. Andrea commented, "There are several places out there
where you can donate hair." Claire wanted to help another child so they
decided on Wigs 4 Kids, a Michigan based non-profit 501(c)(3) organization
that reaches out to kids and young adults with hair loss. The program is
available to any child or teen from ages 3 through 18 in Michigan at no
cost to them or their families. Not only has Claire decided that she wants to make an
annual hair donation, but her 4 year-old sister, Kenzie, has decided it is
something she wants to do also. It’s a win-win situation. She will receive a certificate
thanking her for her donation. Claire now has a cooler hair style for the
summer weather that will be easier to take care of and there is a child
out there who will have a beautiful wig made from Claire’s hair that will
boost her confidence to meet the challenges of life.
