"FEEL GOOD" NEWS!
So many of you appreciate when I blog about GOOD news in the Treasure Valley - I decided to share more of it with you today...
This is Paris Goff:
(She's 5 years old and such a cutie)
Paris Goff, 5
Her Dad - Ben Goff - emailed me about what a big heart this little girl has! This fall, she'll be starting school at Owyhee elementary as a kindergartner. She has beautiful LONG brown hair, as you can see - and she told her parents she didn't want little girls (who are sick, and battling cancer) to go to school without hair. She really said that, at 5 years old... WOW.
So... she decided to cut her hair for Locks of Love!
At Studio D in Nampa, a stylist cut it, packaged it for her, and sent it off to Locks of Love. Paris says she loves her new haircut - and what she loves even more is that she's helping a little girl who needs her hair more than she does... pretty incredible for a 5 year old, huh?
Congratulations Paris!
PS: Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada under age 18 - suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. If you have LONG hair, you could qualify to donate too!
