As you already know we are VERY proud of both of our kids and all that they do. They are both filled with so much love and are just a joy to all whom come in contact with them.
Today Taylor has decided (on her own) to donate over ten inches of her hair to Locks of Love. This is a non profit organization who delivers hair pieces to those who don't have the money and are facing life threatening illnesses like cancer. There is a girl at her school who has lost her hair and Taylor has made it a point to become good friends with her. While others may make fun, Taylor has reached out to her and become a close and trusted friend.
We did not even know of this until recently when she asked if she could give some of her hair to this girl. She said she though it would make her feel better about herself and maybe not get teased.
While there is no guaranty that Taylor's hair will go to this girl (and probably wont) there is no doubt that it will benefit some child somewhere who is dealing with some kind of life threatening illness.
Giving this much hair to many seems like a pretty big deal, however to Taylor she would give it all if she could. There is no price that can be placed on charity and what it means to give.
We are so proud of her for wanting to do this and it will take place today. We will be sure to take many pictures and post them soon.
Make sure you leave a comment to Taylor and let her know that you too are so proud of what she is doing. It is a pretty grown up decision for just a 7 year old.

18 Soldier's saluted this post:
Taylor is such a sweetheart! You raised her right!! :)
Does she understand her friend will most likely not get her hair?
Hi Tim!
Great to hear from you, again! I am so touched by the compassion in Taylor's heart! You are right...that is a very mature decision to be making as a 7 year old, but she wants to do something that will make a difference in someone else's life. You and Carrie have done an outstanding job, apparently, of teaching her to think of others before herself. You go, Taylor...I am so proud of you!!!
Tim: Where in the world have you been? I've been so concerned. It is great to see a post from you.
Taylor: What a wonderful thing to do little one! I know you are making Jesus smile. You are showing His love by befriending someone that others may tease. That is showing His heart. I pray God will continue to use you to bring hope and joy to many in your generation.
Back to Tim: I'm glad you guys are ok!!!
Yay for Taylor! That is really something to be proud of. I have been donating my hair to locks of Love for years. It really makes you feel good to know that your hair is going to someone else that needs it. I'm proud of you Taylor and can't wait to see the new hair cut:) Tim, you and your wife have done such a wonderful job teaching her to be compassionate and befriend someone that others may not be so quick to befriend. Kids can be so cruel at times. It's refreshing to see a young one reach out to others....
p.s. My Destiny is doing a fund raiser for the American heart association. If you get time, stop by my blog and read about it. I'm proud of her for getting so excited about her cause.
What a lovely, unselfish thing to do Taylor. God bless you and that sweet little friend of yours in need of your hair.
Missing all of you!
Yea for Taylor! It's obvious that you're raising achildwitha compassionate heart.
What a wonderful thing for her to do for her friend.
Great job Taylor!! I hope my little girl grows up to be as caring as you!!
Nice to hear from you Tim! Been missing you my bloggy buddy!
Where in the heck did you come from?
Taylor, You are a wonderful friend to this little girl! I am so proud of you.
Taylor what a blessing you are!! Thank you for being His hands and feet to those around you. Keep shining girl, keep on shining!!

Actress did this a few years ago and I was so proud of her. What an awesome unselfish thing to do Taylor. You are going to make some little girl so happy! Your decision to donate your hair makes me smile. You are so generous!
This is so awesome!!
Taylor,
What a great thing you are doing to help! You are such a wonderful person to become friends with this girl when others make fun of her. I'm sure she appreciates it so much! I hope that you inspire others to do the same!
Taylor is wise beyond her years. I know you are both proud of your but, more importantly, I hope Taylor is proud of herself.
Taylor, what a generous thing for you to do.
Taylor, you are doing such a wonderful thing by donating your hair to Locks of Love. I know your parents are so proud of you...so are we!
