Student donates hair

Sixth-grader Emma Peller recently straightened, cut and donated her hair so it could be used to make wigs. Altogether she has donated 30 inches since age 7. 

The first two times she donated her hair to an organization that makes wigs for women with cancer, but this time she chose to give it to Children With Hair Loss. The organization gives human hair replacements to children with cancer, Alopecia, burns, Trichotillomania, and other rare diseases and disorders at no cost.

Peller is a student at N.E. Miles Jewish Day School and is the daughter of Kerri and Efram Peller.
