SO FAR THE GOAL IS AT: $500 / $4500
Well you see, I have a disease called Alopecia Universalis and it has affected me since I was three. The short explanation is that my body cannot grow hair on itās own and, because of this, I also have a weak immune system. Donāt worry though, Iām not sick! What Iām asking is much easier than curing anything.
I see. So what are you trying to do?
What Iām doing is trying to get a little help. My goal is to be able to get myself a suction wig (also known as a vacuum wig). Iāve already been saving as much as I can here and there but, with such a tight income in my family, itās a very slow process. Iāve gotten up to almost $500 but thatās only a small step compared to the overall price. ($500/$4500!)
A vacuum wig is made with real hair from donations of real people. In addition to this, itās made with silicon and my head is specifically scanned to have a one-of-a-kind fit and will only fit me! This all means that I would be able to swim with this hair, shower with it, even wear it on a roller-coaster without fear of it falling off! And just to add to the pros, compared to a costume wig, this one will last me up to 5 years or more!
How much is one of these vacuum wigs?
The cost of my specific wig, which is the shortest standard, is $4,500. This total cost will cover the scanning of my head, making of the wig to my specifics, shipping and handling, and getting the hair cut and styled.
Why canāt you just get a normal costume wig?
The thing is, I have been, for a long time! Any wig I have now is because I got it from Ebay as a cheaply-made one for 5$. The only thing is that these wigs are poorly made, shed considerably, and are itchy as all hell. Some donāt even fit when I get it and if I do try to wear it, it squeezes my head so much it gives me a headache. Iām dying for just one wig that I can wear daily without fussing if my cap is showing or that it will fall off if I put a hat on!
What will this do for you?
So much! It will give me the confidence that I crave and that I know I have to be who I am. It will do wonders to help me emotionally and mentally and I wonāt have to worry about if I get too itchy in public and have to carry a hat with me because the silicon of the vacuum wig makes it feel like it is your own hair. I will guarantee you I will cry if this happens.
