For Kids & Parents

Being a kid is hard enough, but being a kid with alopecia can be down-right difficult. Fortunately there are some fantastic organizations that offer support, friendships, and fun to kids who are dealing with this disease. There is the Children's Alopecia Project (the photo at left is from their camp), the I'm a Kid Foundation, and Locks of Love. There are cool dolls for kids of all ages, as well as web sites and coloring books.

Mother Suffers Through Alopecia All Over Again With Daughter

nikkita and mom Sometimes life isn't fair, and sometimes Life Isn't Fair. The Mirror is reporting the heartbreaking story of Louise Gibson and her struggle with alopecia since she was nine. And now she must watch as her own daughter copes with the same disease. Starting at 18 months old, little Nikkita began to lose all of her hair as well. So not right...right? Well it seems the children will lead the way on this one, and Louis speaks in the article of how her daughter and her friends are handling her hairloss like champs. She is also hoping to raise enough money to buy her little girl the wig that she dreams of. It's a lovely story, and we thank the Mirror for telling it.

(As a little bit of postscript here, you can link here to a blogger who saw little Nikkita on British TV and their thoughts on her appearance. We don't judge 'em folks, we just post 'em. Post what you think.....)
