A new segment of Nightly news with Brian Williams, Making A Difference is one deserving of recognition. It has made such an impact not only on me but to a lot of viewers. It is truly inspiring that during this tough economic times, great deeds and selfless giving still abounds and has not been altered but more so encouraged more philanthropist at heart to give unconditionally... Human saga at its' best!
We all have a giving heart but giving doesn't always mean monetary. This is me. I don't have the luxury of money to give but I have something useful to give which is so a part of ME. Long, black and thick. My hair! My little way of making a difference... Bringing a little happiness to the kids of Locks of Love with a 10 inch worth of my hair!
This is my 2nd year of giving.

Who is turning 5 years old this April. I'm quite blessed to have a healthy child. I wish all the kids in the world are healthy but like the kids of Locks of Love, they're NOT. As part of my Pledge of Gratitude, I'll continue donating my hair for as long as I can.
Then all this month, 10% of each sales of my shop Golden Flower Creations, will get donated to the cause. I hope to be able to raise $250 or more. Please help me reach it. Your pledge of $2 or more will go a long way!
Please join me in helping these kids.
I know I'll get by with a little help from my bloggy friends...
My utmost gratitude is yours...

I just did the Locks of love last fall... my youth pastor/worship leader did it just before me.
ReplyDeleteI had 14 inches cut off and still had enough hair to go way past my shoulders! (That gives you just a small idea of how long my hair was!) I am growing it out again and when it reaches my original length, it gets chopped again! :)
I love your new haircut, its cute! Your four year old is a wonderful photographer!

Hooray for you!!!!! Fabulous organization!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy teenage son has donated 10+ inches 3 times and is currently growing his hair out again- a personal gift that impacts the receiver in a very personal way :)
Thank you so much for doing this. You are beautiful with both long and short hair!

Maricris how generous of you. I'll be sure to donate Wednesday when that old paycheck comes in. I think you look fabulous with your new hair cut. Also that is a great picture for a 4 year old to take.
ReplyDeleteI am a lot better now. I have had three rough weeks of being sick but feel good. Still waiting for numbers on my kidney but I'm not stressing over it. Thanks so much for asking. I hope you and your family are doing well also. Have a great weekend friend!!
You are a leader here. I am really impressed and awestruck. You have a truly generous heart! Glad to see you back in the mix.

Awesome gesture! I've donated my hair once to Locks of Love. It's a great feeling.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great donation, Maricris! I always have short hair and if I donate and cut more of my hair makes me "kalbo" na, hehee!
