Eleven-year-old twins, Yati and Yashvi Pandya, from Vadodara recently made a selfless gesture by donating part of their hair to help cancer patients. The sixth-grade students convinced their mother, Mital Pandya, to join them in this noble cause. Many college students and youngsters in the city have also joined the initiative, which is aimed at helping cancer patients live with dignity.
Vadodara Hair Donation, a non-governmental organization (NGO) in Vadodara, is spearheading the collection of hair to create beautiful wigs for cancer patients. The NGO has been collecting hair for over one and a half years and has received good responses from donors who want to contribute to the cause. To date, the organization has collected hair from more than 100 donors and has helped cancer patients live with dignity.
Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy often experience hair loss and other complications, which can cause them to feel cut off from the rest of the world. Hair is an important part of a person’s appearance, personality, and style statement, and losing it can be devastating for patients. The hair donation initiative helps cancer patients regain their confidence and dignity by providing them with wigs made from their own hair or the hair of donors.
According to a member of Vadodara Hair Donation, the initiative was started because of the trauma that cancer patients go through during treatment. He witnessed his father’s hair loss and other complications during cancer treatment, which inspired him to do something for such patients. He started the initiative about one and a half years ago, and since then, it has received a good response from donors who want to help cancer patients live with dignity.
The founding member has made this initiative his life’s passion and is using social media extensively to spread the message in society. He receives inquiries from people who want to donate their hair for a cause. Soni Sandeep Gosai, a professional makeup artist, is also helping Vadodara Hair Donation in collecting hair from donors. She has been associated with the NGO since her mother was a cancer patient, and she saw the pain that her mother felt during treatment. She is privileged to be associated with such a noble cause.
Vadodara Hair Donation requests donors to contact them on their Instagram account and join them in this noble initiative. Donating hair to cancer patients is a small gesture that can go a long way in helping them live with dignity and confidence. The initiative has touched the hearts of many people, especially youngsters who are joining the cause to make a difference in the lives of cancer patients. The efforts of Vadodara Hair Donation and its donors are commendable and serve as an inspiration to society.
