My 10 year old went from super long to short and wanted to donate her hair. We couldn't find anyone to donate it to in Australia apart from theatrical places and had heard negative things about locks of love so we decided to donate to Wigs for Kids. She had her hair cut specially, we wrote up a nice bio and sent it along with pictures and a letter and ..... that was that. Not an anything.
Now, I know when you donate you do not donate for a "thanks" but given it was a child who cut off all the hair she had been growing for three years, I did expect them to at least let us know they got it.
She is now growing again for the same reason as she just loved the idea of donated the hair to a child who didn't have any, but, would I donate there again?
I did remember somewhere on the website that they said they sent a card after 6 weeks to say they received it but we never got that. We are in a different country so maybe that's the reason but really... I sent them an email but again never received anything back.
When you donate something as precious as that you just want to know that they got it and that they can use it, right?
