5-Year-Old Donates Her Hair for Locks of Love
Shana Hager, 5, of Wallkill, NY, daughter of Rene Hager, granddaughter of Marie and George ("Pop Pop") Tompkins of Cold Spring and Great- Granddaughter of Nancy Tompkins donated her hair on Saturday, February 9,2008 to Locks of Love. Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children under age 18 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. Shana wanted to help the sick kids who have lost their hair - although she also wanted to have a "wig" made for her Pop Pop because he doesn't have much hair!! Rosemariee Olshakowski of Cold Spring cut Shana's hair.
