Today is the Day for a Good Deed Done: Rejoice and Be Glad.
I have been waiting for this day ever since 27 12 2014...
That it will come a day when I can once again contribute what I have that I can...
Have you ever seen children who have been struggling with fighting one of the deadliest illness in the world, at the same time they have to battle their self esteem when they are out in the public not understanding why they have to go through?
That's why it has been my honour to be able to make a decision to help contribute however I can.
Being a person who has to be in and out of hospital and go through from one memogram to other ultrasound for 2 years with every 6 months interval until I am declared benign was an eye-opener in my life.
Not many women and children were as fortunate as me.
They have to go though tougher situations and poison burning and killing them from the inside in the name of defeating the enemy that was eating them up.
I was spared from this journey and I am totally grateful for it.
Silver and gold I do not have... But what I do have, I can give.
And this is my way to pay it forward so that those (Especially the little ones) who doesn't understand why they have to go through will be comforted temporarily with something that they are familiar...
hair
A woman's dignity is their hair... Many believe that, and that could be rightly so.
But today, it is OK. Because what's gone the LORD can restore double and triple even.
I strongly encourage young women (and men even) with healthy hair be challenged to donate if they can, for the cancer patients, particularly children, as they cannot have synthetic wigs because it will effect their scalp.
Natural hair is the best and to get one short one cost at least RM800
If you have money to donate please feel free to contact Locks of Hope or visit their website to know how you can donate to the costing too.
Until then
Keep Calm and do good. It's therapeutic 😁
(yes, I donated my hair before. That was a little drastic from waistline to pixey cut but I have decided to tone that down before more people have heart attack haha. This could be the last time I am eligible to donate but let's see how the LORD sustains me and my hair haha )

This is a beautiful post. I would love to share my hair with little ones. Having a child who is hurting is so painful, they are confused and certainly don't understand. Our hair is a small sacrifice. Love this, God truly can restore our hair :) I am so sorry you have to go through continual hospitalization and checkups. Praying for your health!
Thanks for the kind wishes @birdsinparadise I have not returned for checkup since mid 2017.
The doctor said if there's no more swell or lump feeling just keep exercising and eat + stay healthy and happy, and that is what I have been striving towards in God's grace and mercy.

I didn't know you have gone through the journey yourself. You are such a brave woman. And still move on with even more zeal and passion.
Will check that Locks of Hope.
Much love and hugs to you. :)
Yeah @iamjadeline
From end of 2014 to 2017 was my journey of waits, memmograms, ultrasounds and prayers.
Till this day I will keep giving that's that the LORD has restored me.
And thanks. Locks of Hopes do need both hair and donations still. More and more kids and women are now infested with this disease, especially children.
And that is where we can pray for them too.
One of my friends is a frequent hospital visitor to pray for all patients including cancer ward.

Yes I think there are still a lot who hasn't really know about it even though they have launched a couple of years back.
Right now I am just encouraging more people to donate hair, but I had a larger impact when I cut to pixie look back in 2015, that really got many people's attention especially my church and many young adults planned to do that before going off to study.
How are you holding up @khimgoh? A lot better now?

Thanks for asking, yes I am doing better compared to the last 6 weeks. Eating is still very tough but the dizzyness is almost gone unless nausea sets in for whatever reason. I am hoping it will completely disappear this week!
