My Hero!!


This is my daughter, Hannah. She's 9 years old and I love her!! This is her before picture. She has been growing her hair for over a year to donate to Locks of Love.

She goes to a private Christian school and before she cut her hair she spoke to the elementary school at chapel to encourage other girls to do the same. She wanted the girls to realize this was something the girls could do completely on their own... no money to raise, nothing to sell, just sacrifice.

She said Jesus sacrificed his life for us, what's a little hair?! How cool is she??!!!

I am amazed that I have been given the gift of such an amazing young woman to be in my life. She constantly finds ways to give to others through gifts and acts of service and love. You never hear a negative thing come out of her mouth. I could go on and on, but it will suffice to say that she is my hero and I hope I can continue to encourage her to be a woman of great character!



My friend, Coco, cutting Hannah's hair. Coco teaches Cosmetology at a high school. Their were about 20 girls there and they were all amazed at what Hannah did. We got to tell her story and it was very cool to see how they were so impressed with her sacrifice.
