Miss New Jersey

Hello! I'm Haley and I'm 19. I was diagnosed with Alopecia universalis when I was nine months old. This year I am competing for Miss New Jersey without my wigs. I struggled for most of my teenage life trying to accept that I was bald. When I finally did it was the best feeling ever. I'm doing this not only for myself and other girls struggling with Alopecia but anyone who has something that makes them different. I want everyone to know they are beautiful. Please help me reach my goal of $1195 to compete for Miss New Jersey!

You're Amazing and an inspiration to young girls who have alopecia! My 10 year old daughter has alopecia since she is 7 and we live in new jersey so I will be following the pageant with my daughter so that she can see how beautiful and confident you are and I hope she will take something good away from your experience. The best of luck to you and you are a great representation of our beautiful state!

Let your daughter know, If she ever wants to talk to another girl who went through the same thing as her, I'm only a phone call or drive away. I wish i had someone with alopecia that knew what i was going through when i was younger. Still do sometimes. But i'd love to meet her, and you should try to get to a naaf conference sometime, i did when i was her age and loved it!

Every time some brave young person like you exposes Alopecia to the public, we come closer to a cure, both medically and socially. Thank You.

We may not see a cure medically anytime soon, But socially over the last 19 years i've seen great changes! We are beautiful, we are bold, and we are bald! Never be ashamed and always answer peoples questions, get Alopecia out there! Only we can do that one person at a time!
