First sponsor

My colleague, Christina, is sponsoring S$50 for the new wig. Thank you!

Also, I have measured some of the hair last night, some are tangled and I need time tidy them up before I could send them to the manufacturer, if I don’t, they would just chop the tangled part off, which would be a total waste.

I will need to comb out the tangled part and save as much hair as possible.

The donor’s page will be updated once all the hair has been tidied and measured.

Hair collection

Yesterday, I managed to collect hair from 5 donors. I have yet to measure the length, but all should be longer then 10 inches. Especially from Ivy, her almost butt length hair should measure up to 20 inches… I guessed.

Well, thanks again to donors; Gloria, Jade, Grace, Ivy and Sapphire for their hair. Not forgetting Gloria’s mum for waiting for me. Thanks!

Touching base…

I might seems to have disappeared all these while, but actual fact was, I have been finding ways to connect to as many possible hair donors as possible before that event.

Have contacted close to thirty possible donors so far, awaiting for a favourable reply from them. So if you are one of those whom I am looking for, do consider donating your hair. Share your hair!

Also, with a friend’s help, we might be getting a salon to help us collect some hair. Waiting for the salon to get back to me.

Anyway, we believed that we are the only group that accept hair donation in Singapore (for charity purposes). So if you know of anyone who wish to donate their hair, do ask them to drop us an email.

I would also like to thanks Sean who came down on behalf of Joanna, our hair donor. Thank you for your time, I really appreciate it.

My friend J.J. was with me on that day too. Thanks for coming down to support and witness. Nothing big but it was a happy moment.

We made history

Today marks a new milestone in our hair recycling project. We have donated our first wig(s). I believed we are the first in Singapore to have people donate their hair for making wig for our local cancer patients.

But being the pioneer wasn’t my intention when I started this project, it was just a thought of doing something to give back to the community.

Not all of my friends believed or supported me, some even laughed at my idea. For those who did, thanks! For those who didn’t, thank you too.

I couldn’t have done it without the hair donors. Thank you all for believing and trusting me with your hair.

Thanks Ween Sze, Fiona and Sean for going down with me today. Thank you for your time and sorry to keep you guys waiting. Thanks Josephine and Grace for your support too.
