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.

Not yet
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.

Bye 2020
Last day of 2020, so a quick look back at what we have done this year.
This pandemic had caught everyone by surprise, and we are busier than usual just to stay alive.
We hope to resume our hair donations soon, as many had written to enquire, but our main focus is still to raise funds to make more wigs.
Our fundraising has been slow and just last month, Give Asia ended our campaign prematurely due to their system upgrade. They said they were not able to reconnect back their platform to the funding platform, so we would have to create a new campaign in order to receive funds.
Wig Y20-21
We have been making wigs. Our wigs are not just for cover, but an armour filled with love for warriors battling cancer.
This wig is no exception. Except for this warrior is a 6-year-old princess. Let's gather all the love and wishes for this little princess.

To the wig maker... but wait
These are just portion of the ponytails we received. Before we could bring them to the wig maker, they need to be sorted according to their length, texture and colour.

“... there is hair at this point but is really the lack of fund that holding so many patients back from getting the wig that they deserved.”

Be someone's hero
What can be more inspiring than hearing our very own hair donor supporting the cancer patients?
Dr Xenia touches our hearts by exemplifying “Be Someone’s Hero”.
It is easy to make someone's day happy by giving a bright smile, saying hello in the lift, sharing an umbrella or buying a small box of cupcake.. But, you can Be Someone's Hero by making the cancer patients happy, restoring their confidence by making a small contribution in our fundraising campaign.

Today is World Kindness Day.
It’s the time of the year to do at least one act of kindness today.
As you all know, we have temporarily stopped accepting hair donation since the beginning of the year to focus on raising fund to make more wigs in order to benefits more patients.
And today, we are launching our fundraising campaign. We hope that with this campaign, we could get more people to help with the cost of making of our wigs.
This project had been running from the pocket of our volunteers, their friends and colleagues. Sometimes, we have hair donors sponsoring our wigs as well. It's not sustainable in a long run. Therefore, we decided to seek more help from the public.

We have the hair but need the money to further benefit our local patients.
Spread your kindness on World Kindness Day.
Many thanks!
