Locks of Love receives donations from West Hills Employees

Lenore Simonsons made a generous donation to Locks of Love recently. She followed the steps of counselors Angela Tos and Wendy Denney and cut off about a foot of her hair to donate to the non-profit organization.

 

Kathy Trezza and her daughter Sophia accompanied Lenore to give moral support and take the following pictures. Veronica Baleras at the Irwin Street Salon in Hanford did the honors.

 

 

Marta Hendrickson’s daughter Emma also donated to Locks of Love last month. According to their Web site, 80% of donations come from children.
