A TRAILBLAZING hair and blood donation campaign turns out to be a meaningful event for Seck Kia Eenh (Melaka Buddhist Association) here.
The association's vice president, Daniel Ang Yan Seng, said the event was jointly organised with various non-governmental organisations to support individuals experiencing hair loss due to ailments such as cancer, alopecia areata, and other health issues.
"The campaign was launched to support Locks of Hope, a nonprofit dedicated to providing wigs to individuals in need," he said on Monday (July 22).
Ang stated that the campaign's goal was to increase awareness of helping others and directly impact the lives of those in need through the donation of hair.
"Donating hair involves cutting it to make wigs for patients undergoing chemotherapy or experiencing hair loss due to medical conditions.
"Beyond being cosmetic, these wigs provide emotional support and empower patients with confidence," he said.
Ang said those who attended the event also supported the campaign with monetary contributions and moral support.
"The response was overwhelming. More than 70 people registered for haircuts," he said.
Ang said the association also expressed its gratitude to the locals for the support they rendered to the event, including the youngsters who donated blood.
"The success of this campaign is a testament to the kindness and generosity of our locals," he added.
