My parents and I are so glad that we found an organization called the Children’s Alopecia Project (CAP). CAP is the only nonprofit devoted specifically to kids like me living with alopecia, an incurable and unpredictable hair loss disease that makes my hair fall out. They call us CAP Kids, which is really cool. CAP helped me and my parents to find support and to meet other kids with alopecia, who know what it’s like to live without hair.
Could you make a donation to CAP and help me and other CAP Kids? Here’s what the money will be used for:
* CAP’s annual national conference, Alopeciapalooza, which focuses on empowering kids with alopecia and providing support for their families, this year being held at Camp Campbell Gard, outside of Cincinnati, Ohio
* CAP Kid Library Program through which CAP donates books about alopecia to the libraries of schools that have a student with alopecia * Maintenance of award-winning website, www.childrensalopeciaProject.org, with web chats for parents and teens
* National CAP Kid Connections Program through which CAP helps parents to find other parents whose children have alopecia in their local communities
* National CAP Kid Corresponders Program, a pen pal program where we can reach out to other CAP Kids, especially those that are newly diagnosed with alopecia
* National Awareness Outreach Program through which CAP sends brochures to dermatologists, schools, and parents across the country in an effort to find and help more children living with alopecia
* CAP Kid Support group meetings and activities in more than 11 states and growing!
Please help me to meet my goal of $____500.00______. If you would like to make a donation, please give it to me or mail it to CAP at PO Box 6036, Wyomissing, PA 19610 or visit www.ChildrensAlopeciaProject.org and click donate but be sure to include my name in the memo Paige Anderson. CAP is a 501(c) (3) non-profit so all donations are tax-deductible.
Thank you for your support of CAP and of all kids like me who are living with the effects of alopecia.
Sincerely
The Andersons
