Sarah's Story

Dear Martine and Bec,

Thought I would send you a photo of Saz on her first day of school. As you can see below she went off the school full of confidence.

The change in Sarah has been amazing. Her confidence is growing by the day. I remember at the 2009 Alopecia Christmas party one of the mums commented that Sarah had sad eyes. Just take a look now – she doesn’t have sad eyes any more. It is wonderful.

Saz commented that all people with Alopecia should have a Martine and a beautiful wig. She has suddenly become interested in clothes – shopping for clothes at Big W just doesn’t cut if anymore. We have to shop at Valley girl now.

I know there will still be tough times ahead but at the moment it seems as though the only way is up. Saz has also rejoined swimming club which was something she loved to do before her hair fell out.

I can’t thank you enough for all the support provided by Martine and the Princess Charlotte Alopecia Foundation. We look forward to getting to Sydney in the future to attend another function.

Talk soon Kendra J

Tahlia's Story

Dear Trish & everyone else at the Princess Charlotte Foundation,

My name is Tahlia Cassar and I have recently received a new wig with the kind assistance from your foundation.

I would like to take the time to thank you all very much for your help. This will now mean that I can repair my old wig so eventually I will have 2 wigs in very good condition. I have attached 2 photos of myself with my new hair which I absolutely love. :)

Lots of Love, Tahlia Cassar

Karina's Story

I have recently received my freedom wig that your wonderful foundation helped pay for and I just wanted to send a note of thanks. It really means a lot to me that you were able to help me out in this way, and I hope that I will be able to help the foundation in some way in the future. You are really doing some great work for people with alopecia.

I have attached a picture of me with my new hair so you can see how wonderful it looks!

"An Inspiring Story"

The foundation has received 3 emails to date asking for assistance for children that have medically induced alopecia due to rounds of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. We would like to share one of these young girls stories.

Tara's Story
Tara was diagnosed with a brain tumour when she was 10, after having 7 weeks of radiation and 6 months of chemotherapy she lost all her hair. Tara is now 15 years old and has permanent alopecia due to the radiation. "The one thing she really wants is hair" says her mum Jackie.

"Your fund was kind enough to pay for a wig for Tara which we picked up about 2 weeks ago. I can't thankyou enough for the joy that wig has brought to her. She told me that she finally feels the same as all the other girls her age. Thankyou just doesn't seem enough, but you have made one young girl very happy".

Kaiana's new hair

Here are a couple of photo's of Kaiana's new hair, a before shot and after the cut.  Thank you everyone for your on-going support and encouragement towards Kaiana and myself, this mean so much to us all!

Jane's new hair

These photos were taken 2 weeks ago at an event in Gold Coast and I had my hair professionally done.

I still cant tell you how much I love it and how it has really changed my life. I get so many compliments from people telling me that my hair is always perfect and asking me what do I do to make it so lovely.
