Generous cut
Chantal Warwick had 13 inches cut off her hair recently to
donate it to Angel Hair for Kids in Mississauga. She made
the decision three years ago after dyeing it because she
knew the cost of wigs was high and that many families
couldn’t afford the bills, let alone the wig. With Angel Hair
for Kids the wigs are given to the families at a low to no cost
rate. Warwick was very happy to contribute her hair to the
cause. (Photo submitted)
