20. Have you contacted Locks of Love?

I don't know all their rules, but I ran into a compassionate young man at my hairdresser's salon a few years ago. She had only one contact with him, and neither of us can remember his name.

He had long, honey-blonde hair. He brought a box from Locks of Love and told our hairdresser to cut his hair and he would put it in the box and give it to Locks of Love. He said he did this whenever his hair got long enough. He had lost his mother to breast cancer.

See what you can find out. Prayers and good vibes to you!
