It’s about Lourdes Herrera. “What amazes me the most is that girls from 7 to 10 come to donate very happy,” she told De Brown.
Lourdes Herrera is 19 and for two years she has been carrying out a great solidarity movement. Through different actions, he collects hair to make wigs that are later destined to oncology patients of low resources.
How did it all come about?
For eight years, the young woman has been part of the Scout group of Our Lady of Luján de José Mármol. It was precisely there that he felt closely the sequelae left by chemotherapy.
“My leader Fabiana is in treatment and lost her hair. So I started to find out and was shocked to read that many people refuse or have a hard time doing chemo for fear of falling. In addition, wigs are very expensive and many people do not have to buy them, “he said in dialogue with www.deBrown.com.ar
How are the solidarity days?
Volunteers go to the indicated place to get the cut or come with their hair ready to donate. This work is carried out in conjunction with Peluqueras del Corazón and the NGO Fueguitos de Almirante Brown.
The requirements
Hair can be donated by people of any age. It must be more than 15 cm, clean, dry and tied. It does not matter if it is dyed, with treatments or gray. “What amazes me the most is that girls from 7 to 10 years old come to participate very happy,” he admitted to this medium.
During the campaigns, the group is also in charge of collecting disused wigs, scarves to make turbans and caps for boys.
What is the next step?
The locks are sent in a parcel to Santa Fe. The group “Hairdressers of the heart” works in that province. These are women who are dedicated to making solidarity cuts, making wigs and actively raising awareness about cancer.
“They are geniuses. I reached out to them through Facebook when I first cut myself. They are the ones in charge of making donations to people who ask for them and do not have the resources to buy one. His idea is to grow in this and train others to produce them in different parts of the country, “he explained.
How to help?
