We had sent some hair to the wig maker in September.
It was supposed to be ready in late November / early December, but due to the Safe Management Measures, the completion date has been pushed back.
More updates coming.

Many have written to us asking when will our hair donations resume. As of now, we are not able to answer.
For those who are new, and to refresh memories for some; We stopped accepting hair donations since 2017 to raise funds for making wigs. Without funds, donated hair would not be able to serve what they are meant for.
Though we have not resumed our hair donations, we are still sending hair to the wig maker (look out for our next post). However, restrictions and measures are slowing down the wig maker.

This has been a busy year for these volunteers. Other than busy appearing on television and social media. They had been supporting some event as well.
In April, they were involved in an event by Mediacorp Radio station Love 972 and Ocean Butterflies Singapore for VIVA Foundation for Children with Cancer. They help whenever needed. So help them to help more.
Vote for them!

Day number 5 … The volunteers have been checking the vote count as and when they are happy anxious. Still far behind.
They had been asking people to vote, but people may not really know what they really do. Yet again, another couple of months back (like there are 24 months this year) crews from Mediacorp Chinese News were seen with them. And then… they appeared on a television programme on Channel U.
The show, World This Week, did a brief segment on what this group is all about, you can watch it over at the link below.
But then, still no sponsor.
Vote for them, though they cannot be your voice in the parliament, they can help those in need too.

Day 3
Day 3 of the voting period and it seems like the story of these volunteers are lagging behind. The volunteers are still working hard to get more people to vote for their story.
Did you know?
The project that these volunteers are running is self-funded. They do not have any big organisations or companies to support them. The only support from the government, indirectly, is maybe the GST voucher given to the volunteers and it’s not a big sum.
See these ponytails?
They are waiting to be recycled into wigs for our cancer patients, and they do not need pay a single dollar (not even a cent), it’s all fully sponsored for by these volunteers, their friends and colleagues… and volunteers and their friends again… and their friends again … until may they are broke?
So, vote for them before it’s too late. Voting ends 27 Dec 2017 (10 am)
