Laura, thank you for being who you have become. I am sure alot of people feel better because of your words and experiences. Denise

Happy birthday!! HUGS :D

Hi Laura
I am doing good! I am getting a hair cut and school is going to start really shortly. I am so excited for school. Samantha

Thanks Laura, I will let you know if I need anything! cindy

Hi Laura, my daughter Samantha loved your group session and had a great time. She is planning to do a talk about Alopecia to her girl scout troop this year and I think she would like to incorporate some of the things you did yesterday. I am going to look at your website on the paper she drew on. Thanks Cindy

Hi LAura Mia said she misses you..THanks for the time you took to make my daughter and all the other children of CAP, feel better about themselves....

HI Laura! Your story really reached my heart. I canbt inderstand why there are cruel people that hurt others because of something freely. I have telogen effluvium and its very hard for me
going out with my awful hair...I don´t know how will be life with wigs and explaining to people what had happened to me. What people think is very strong for me.

Hi Laura,

I came accross your page to and wanted to say hello.
I wish I could make the Cruise. Maybe next time.

Hi Laura!
I'm not sure if you are from Hendersonville, NC or where, but..
I am from the Charlotte/ Burlington Area and I am hoping to get a support group started in NC. Please let me know of any questions you have and if you are interested. It is all sort of up in the air for now.

Regards,
Melody.

Hi Laura, I have been quietly aware of you and your work in alopecia awareness for some time. After years of on/off AA/AT and hiding, I have made peace with my alopecia and "came out." My hope is that perhaps I can help someone else. Thank you for your brave example.

Laura, You are such an inspiration!!! I live in Nashville Tn and we are neighboring a town called Hendersonville and was wondering if that is the same H'ville you call home? I just wanted to say hello.

Hi Laura, I thought I would drop by and see how you are doing. How are you :)

Hi Laura, Your story could be mine as well. I was tormented endlessly for years...and what made it worse was that my parents were ashamed of me...The shame became part of who I was as a person for a long time. Years of therapy helped me to cope, but I never entirely accepted who I was; until I married my soul mate. Anyway, I wanted to tell you that your "hair" is beautiful..what do you wear?

Wow. Your story could be me. I feel the same way and have had all the same problems. If I could help one child feel better about having this disease I would be happy. Is there a group I can join?

Hi Laura - I remember seeing your episode of "A Makeover Story" and getting so excited to see someone else with alopecia. I am from a small town and didn't know of anyone else that had it. Thank you for your vulnerability and the good works that you do. I know many people, including myself, have benefited from it. Take care. :-)

Hi Laura Im AU also,
I really liked what you wrote, I was quite lucky I didnt really get teased or bullied so much there was the odd remark but because I didnt respond to them they got bored, ive had alopecia since i was about 12, Ive had periods when it has come back for maybe a year but sadly my hair always leaves me lol,
For the past 5 years or so I have had know hair on my head, and about 3 years ago my eyebrows and lashes went, this was more traumatic for me than my head hair, Ive spent the last 3 years drawing them on but I am going to have semi perm makeup in about 3 weeks just before my wedding So i am very excited!!!!
Thanks for reading xx

Awesome bio. Very nice pictures. Keep up the GREAT work. God bless

Hi Laura, I'm AU too, very nice to make your acquaintance!. Your pictures are beautiful :-D

Thanks for the kudos. I'm loving the fact that there's so many people out here embracing where they are in life instead of loathing it. I'm so glad I this site was created. Take care.
