My Dear family and Friends,
Hello my name is Latoya and I would like for you to please allow me to take this opportunity to share a story with you. My sister Christina has been battling alopecia totalis since the very young age of 7 for those of you who aren’t familiar with alopecia; it is a condition of hair loss. People with alopecia loose all or parts or their hair on various parts or their body. As of now no one knows the exact cause of this condition but it’s believed by some to be linked to stress and/or heredity.
It’s been 30 years now since Christina has began to loose her hair. As a young child she was always wearing scarves and wraps on her head in attempts to fit in with all the other kids. Moving into adulthood her problems with alopecia never left. She’s tested out several different hair care products, shampoos and serums that were all unsuccessful. Exploring all options, Christina began to pour money into wigs, hair weaves and extensions. These were all temporary fixes which at sometimes did more damage to her hair than helping it. Telling her story or reading about it only gives you an idea, but you’ll never know the true extent unless you’ve actually lived with this condition. This is just a very small fraction of what she had to go through for as long as I can remember. Although it’s been a long road with many failing attempts to restore her hair, there is finally something available that can help Christina in her situation!
Hair Club is a company that specializes in prevention, treatment, and restoration of lost, and thinning hair. They’ve introduced us to a non-surgical procedure called Bio-Matrix that will allow Christina to enjoy a full head of hair! This is something that she hasn’t been able to obtain since the age of 7 so you could imagine how excited she was to hear the news! I got the pleasure of accompanying her to her first evaluation appointment with the Hair Club. Seeing her so excited, as her little sister, knowing what she’s been thorough naturally made me just as excited FOR her! We learned that this non-surgical procedure is going to cost $2300. With the current economy 2300 dollars to us seems like a million but we are determined to reach this goal! If you had or ever have the pleasure of meeting Christina, you’ll quickly find out that she has a heart the size of
These are Christina’s before pictures; please help us in reaching our goal of $2300 so she may have new and improved AFTER PICTURES! I understand that the economy is on the down side right now but literally anything that you are able to give would be greatly appreciated. $50! $20! $10! Even 1 dollar would help us to getting closer to our goal! $2300 seems like a whole lot but with a little help from everybody, I believe we can make it happen!
I love you all,
Latoya Johnson
