Six-year-old Miranda Morales chopped off 10 inches of her hair
and proudly donated it to Locks of Love. Veronica Marroquin at
Veronica’s Full Service Hair Salon cut Morales’ hair Nov. 29.

Locks of Love is a public nonprofit organization that provides
hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United
States and Canada under age 18 who are suffering from long-
term medical hair loss from any diagnosis.

The organization meets a unique need for children by using donated
hair to create the highest quality hair prosthetics. The hairpieces
they provide help restore children’s self-esteem and confidence,
enabling them to face the world and their peers.
