Hair matters. Confidence matters.

People shouldn’t have to choose between those things and chemo.

$130 towards $2,400

Chemo can be life-saving, but losing your hair doesn’t have to be part of the already-difficult experience. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity and fortune to save my hair through scalp cooling treatments.

Cold-capping can help patients keep much of their hair, but sadly, it’s still not covered by many insurances. If not covered, it can cost $2,400. On top of all the other costs associated with cancer and its treatments, this can be out of reach for many who would benefit from using this technology.

That’s where HairToStay steps in, making this powerful (but pricey!) treatment more accessible to those who need it most. They will give subsidies of up to $1000 to help reduce patient financial responsibility.

I’ve started this fundraising campaign to increase awareness of what xold-capping even is and to pay forward all the help and support I have received in these past 8+ months. Every donation helps someone hold on to their confidence, identity, and comfort when they need it most.

The prospect of losing my hair was devastating to me; knowing about scalp cooling and being able to access it made SO MUCH of a difference. Please consider donating to HairToStay to help others remain positive, determined, and a little bit more "themselves" as they work to get and keep themselves healthy! 💕
