I am on this site because my 8 year old daughter has Alopecia and has lost almost all her hair and is now losing her eyebrows, Im hoping to find others around her age in my city so she can make friends with those who understand her!
I have 4 kids, ages 8, 6.5, 23 months and 7 months!
Oh, my last bit of advice...advice that would have helped me tremedously...never let your daughter see you upset about her AA. Although, you can feel helpless as a parent...please never let her see it or hear you speak about it to others in a negative way. Sometimes words and actions stick with kids in ways parents never expect.
Hi! I'm Charity. I'm also from Winnipeg, and would LOVE to see a support group happen. Even if it's not a support group, I would like soooo much to meet people that can relate to me. I'd love to meet your daughter if you'd be okay with that. I'm 18 years old, and I got diagnosed with alopecia when I was 15 and a half. I now have full blown alopecia universalis. I know young girls can sometimes look up to "teenage girls" and maybe just seeing someone else who's struggled with it would be good for her? Sort of like a mentor maybe. Also I have a 9 year old sister so I'm good with kids her age. Message me back!
Hey, I am not sure if we have talked before, but I am from Manitoba and would love to help your daughter with anything any time.. I feel very comfortable with my alopecia and really want to help others feel the same. :) tell her to keep her chin up and she is beautiful
