God Only Made a Few Perfect Heads, He Put Hair on the Rest

Profile Information

Relationship Status:: Married

About Me:: I am 24 years old and a nursing student at Mesa Community College. I started getting bald patches at the age of 20 and was diagnosed with AA. I lost about half of my hair and then in all grew back. I now just get a few small patches at a time. I have 4 daughters. My 3rd daughter who is now 3 was born with a full head of thick black hair. Around the time she turned one she started losing small patches and I assumed she had AA like me and they would just grow back... however they never did. She went on to lose all of her hair as well as her eyebrows and eyelashes. So, she has AU and doesn't seem to care at all. I make her wear hats outside during the day so she doesn't end up with skin cancer and she absolutely loves her hats, she has dozens. I would love for her to be able to meet other girls who are bald because she gets so excited when she sees anyone whos "hair went bye bye" like her.

I wanted to let you know about an event we are going to be having on July 19 at Big Surf for National Bald Out Day. Email me with your contact info so that I can send you a flyer with all the details. The entrance fee is being sponsored by a local business, so I hope you will mark that day on your calendar, and bring your family! I hope to be hearing from you soon. Take care, Sarah :)

You have such a beautiful family! All your girls are just georgous!! So you have not only dealt w/ it yourself, but your dughter as well. I have been totally bald since I was five and am now 31. My 9 year old son has had some very small spots come out just this year, but they don't really seem to be getting any bigger, and they are growing back in. It's one thing to deal with it for yourself, but to see your child go through it must be way harder. I find myself obsessing over his small spots, and I NEVER did that w/ myself. So you go to MCC too!! I'm doing my pre-req's to get into the nursing program. How far along are you in the program? I want to leave you my email address. Email me w/ your name and number. I am a support group leader for poeple w/ alopecia, and we are just getting started w/ doing a children's group. It would be great to see you guys at our next meeting. my address is: sgomez33@cox.net I hope to hear from you soon! Hey, maybe we'll even run into eachother on campus!
