<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nHave you ever come across or visited the cancer ward in a hospital? The first time you come across this ward and see those people with their shaved heads, it affects you in a way you never imagined. It will definitely not be momentary. Think about it. Here people are worried about hair fall caused due to stress or an unhealthy diet but on the other end, there are people who have to shave off their hair knowingly in order to just stay alive. Of course, no one can be blamed. It is just the reality of life. The sad part of it is, that you got to live with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even all this is fine because the worst part is when you see all those Artificial Breast Prostheses kept on display before the Cancer center. One may automatically start thinking about all the worst-case scenarios of getting affected with cancer, getting their hair shaved off, undergoing chemotherapy, and getting artificial breast implantation and the list goes on, getting far worse than it probably is. That\u2019s when you pray so badly to God, not to be put in any of these situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the real nightmare is when you see someone, you know go through all this, something stirs inside you and you so badly want to do something about it, only to realize at last that your hands are tied and there is literally nothing that you can do. Just imagine how the person who goes through this nightmare would feel. Just terrible and they would constantly be fighting the thought; \u201cWhy me? What have I done so badly in my life to deserve this?\u201d One can only try to imagine the fear, hopelessness, and anger they would feel. It is truly heartbreaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WHAT CAN YOU DO?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is not much that you can do other than support the person suffering from cancer. Moral support may not be the best but at least it\u2019s something if you are close to the person. If you can give some hope and strength to that person and be there while they fight the greatest battle of their life, it surely counts as something. Right?\u00a0 And remember, \u201cTreat them as a person with an illness, not as an ill person\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And another conscious choice that you can make, if you have a strong desire to help people who are suffering from the disease, is to donate your hair. Yeah, you heard it right. You can choose to donate your hair. By that, it doesn\u2019t mean you have to shave off your hair fully. No, you can just chop off a few inches of your hair and even donate them. There are some organizations and programs that can help turn your locks into a wig for people with cancer. A wig can give self-confidence, strength, and hope to someone struggling with the emotional challenges of hair loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since it\u2019s the bare minimum a person can do to support, anyone can donate their hair including Children. The only thing you have to keep in mind is that there is a minimum length of hair that you have to cut to make the donation. Usually, the length ranges from 8 inches to 14 inches. Some organizations don\u2019t accept hair that\u2019s been colored, permed, highlighted, bleached, or dreadlocked. Whereas, some of them accept gray hair or hair with a certain percentage of gray in it, while others don\u2019t accept it at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some simple steps you have to follow to donate your hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Choose to make the kindest cut of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Places in India where you can donate your hair:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n #1 Hair Crown; Theni, TamilNadu<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can check their website<\/a> or call on +91-94861 21062.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #2 Cope With Cancer; Mumbai, Maharashtra<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can reach out to this organization via their website<\/a> or call them at 022- 49701285.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #3 Sargakshetra Cultural Centre; Kottayam, Kerala<\/p>\n\n\n\n This organization can be reached via their website<\/a>, or you could e-mail them at sargakshetra@gmail.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #4 For You Trust; Kannur, Kerala<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can get more details about this from their website<\/a> or contact them at +91-9072423704.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Have ever been a part of this journey?
