On Sunday, December 17th, Maisy Carvalho hosted a hair donations drive sponsored by Pantene Beautiful Lengths. At this drive, she had a panel of volunteer hairdressers come in to cut eight inches off of people hair. Those eight inches were then sent to Pantene Beautiful Lengths to be made into wigs for women with cancer. Maisy cut an outstanding number of twenty- eight ponytails and raised a total of $700 which was donated to South County Hospitals Cancer Treatment Center.“ I was overwhelmed by the turnout. This was a Christmas gift better than any, to those receiving the wigs, those who chopped, and myself. This day goes down in the books. I am so thankful for those who helped me pull it off, for I can not take full credit! Thank you to those who shared your story with me, it was an amazing reminder that none of us are alone” said Carvalho. Maisy has recently cut eight inches off of her hair as well to add the final twenty- ninth ponytail to the denotation.
