I Choose to Chop for Change

$200 of $2,000 goal
Given by 5 generous donors in around 4 months

My goal is to help people that are affected by cancer and other sicknesses resulting in hair loss and survivors of sexual assault/ abuse.

Hawke's Bay

Years ago, I got a haircut making sure to chop off my dyed hair with the intention to grow it natural. Since then, I have been complimented on my beautiful hair which led to it being a huge part of who I am, this leads me to think of people who have lost their hair to cancer or other sicknesses and how it may impact on their view of themselves:( Since having these people on my heart, it has been a goal of mine to GROW and DONATE my hair. I have been waiting to reach the length requirements necessary. The time has come.

Another reason I want to chop my hair is my history of sexual assault / abuse for years of my life. Reason being hair often symbolizes change. My hair is part of me that has been through so much of life with me. Since the sexual assault/ abuse experiences one thing has been clear while on my healing journey. I not only needed mindset shifts and inner healing I also need to make a physical change that separates me from the “girl I used to be”. To say goodbye to the old version of myself the physical change I need to do is chop my hair. I am ready to step into a new chapter by doing this one last thing keeping me tied to an old version of myself.

I wish to fundraise $2000, once the fundraiser closes I will video “my hair cut” so you can all join me on this journey, “let’s do this”

I will be sending my hair to Freedom Hair in Dunedin (the $ for the hair will be donated to Child Cancer Foundation )

The fundraised money from givealittle will go to B R A V E NZ.
