Lucy’s hair is going to Corrie Isbell, a friend without hair because of Alopecia Universales disease.
Corrie’s mom Mika told the station the special wig “suction cups to the head, and it's a silicone." That will allow Corrie to “swim in it. She can play in it. She can cheer in it, and she can tumble in it.”
Corrie calls it a “big girl wig.”
The reason Wigs for Kids is so important comes down to money. "It's a prosthetic, and it's not covered by insurance because it's considered cosmetic surgery," Mika explained.
Each wig can cost a family several thousand dollars and only lasts for two years. That means every ponytail collected is worth as much as $200.
Corrie is touched by what’s happening. "It makes me feel loved and that people actually care about when people don't have hair."
Lucy isn’t finished making people smile. Cathy says her granddaughter wants to grow her hair and donate again in 2016.
