Five-year-old Killian Korkes wanted to start her new year out right by donating her hair to children with diseases. She has seen commercials on TV of other sick, hairless children who have donated, and she said to her mom, Kelly, "Momma, I want to make the sick children smile."
Korkes bravely went to The Hair Cuttery on New Year's Eve and donated all 11 inches of her hair, with a huge smile. Many of her family and friends have since been inspired and have also donated to Locks of Love.
