A Change for a Good Cause!

Today was a huge day for us here. My Daughter's school was hosting a Locks for Love event. Locks for Love is an orgnization that uses hair from donations to make wigs for children who can't grow hair. So, today, my 6 year old Daughter Samantha donated 13 inches of her hair. She was so excited and so proud and so were we. We had tears of joy for our Daughter to take such a big step. It took her 6 years with only one trim to grow her hair. She had a wonderful experience and everyone was so kind. She looks so grown up now! She is a young girl with a BIG heart!


Here she is before:

And here she is after making a big difference in another little girls life:
