Locks of Love

Learn how you can donate your hair

St. Augustine Team’s Monica Nunchuck visited the stylist in early September and said goodbye to her long tresses of flowing blonde hair.

Monica is donating said tresses to Locks of Love (www.LocksOfLove.org), a non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children. The donations return a sense of self, confidence and normalcy to children suffering from long-term hair loss due to cancer or other medical issues.

“In addition to my two sons Alex and Gregory who are blessings from God,” Monica said, “I always wanted a girl. I’m not sure when I’ll be a grandma and if I’ll ever have granddaughters, so I thought what would be the next best thing for me but to grow my hair for a little girl that has lost her hair to cancer or alopecia areata. It is my hope that it will give that special little someone the confidence and self esteem she needs to get through her tender life.”
