WASHINGTON, Dec 9 (KUNA) -- Kuwaiti high school student in the US Mona Al-Qadfan launched an initiative to support children with cancer by donating hair.
Al-Qadfan's solo initiative calls for donating hair extensions to those children who are losing their hair due to chemotherapy.
In a statement to KUNA on Saturday, Al-Qadfan noted that she had established an online website, where people can donate locks of their natural hair, hair wigs and money for the sick children.
She said that she had been thoroughly reading about the suffering of these children and their families for the past three years. She added that she got the idea for her initiative from an ad by an organization that said one can ease the suffering of cancer patients by donating hair.
Meanwhile, the student said she started growing her hair since mid-2015 to be able to donate it by November 25, 2017. (end) ss.rj.ag
