Lots of locks
for “Locks of Love”
Hi, my name is Felicity Hydo. I’m 9 years old and I live in Brandenburg.
Today, Wednesday, July 14, 2010, I went to Fantastic Sam’s in Brandenburg and got my hair cut for the first time. I had 25 inches cut off and donated it to the Locks of Love Foundation. I think that it is a very good foundation. There are so many kids and adults who have lost their hair due to being sick and need more hair. I’m looking forward to whoever gets my dark hair and I hope they love it as much as I did. If you would like to donate some hair just like I did, go on down to Fantastic Sam’s and they will take care of you. It has to be at least seven inches cut in order to have it donated.
