In 2019, my father underwent spine surgery, and I visited him while he was in the hospital. Upon visiting the hospital, I realized that there were many kids my age who were battling illnesses.
I wanted a chance to help the children in the hospital. However, I was too young to volunteer.
I noticed that many of the child patients had lost their hair. I had grown my hair for a number of years, and I decided to donate my hair to help create wigs for the children.
First Hair Donation
In 2021, I donated my hair for the first time to help childhood cancer patients.
It took a long time for me to grow my hair, but I knew I was donating it for a good cause. After I donated my hair, I wanted to carry on donating in the years to come.
Second Hair Donation
After donating my hair for the first time, I persuaded my best friend Jiseung to join me in growing and donating hair. Jiseung was hesitant at first, but we were able to grow our hair together for two years until we were ready for donation. We took a commemorative photo shoot before getting our hair cut.
I was happy that I persuaded my friend to join me in on a good deed, and that I was able to continue donating for child patients.
Certificate of Appreciation
These are certificates I received after donating hair in 2021 and 2023.
