My name is Maxine Guzman I am 19 Years old. I currently reside in West Covina Ca. I have been suffering from an unexplained condition which has been haunting me since I was in fifth grade. I suffer from Extensive Hair Loss. Ever since I was in middle school I recall always having to wear hair pieces ranging from Full Tracks/Full Weaves/general extensions. The lower part of my head which runs down my neck is completely bald. I hade very little hair, enough to help cover up some of the extensions. Most Recently I have had to start using Full cap Wigs. I have gone completely bald ranging from 100-120 hair follicles mostly on the top of my head. The average person has thousands. I have been on a continues mission from doctor to doctor, state to state and even out of country to help find some kind of treatment so I can at least have some what of a normal head of hair. I have given up all hope and I will have to continue to use wigs until I can try to gather enough money to see many more specialists to see what I can be assisted with. I am asking from the bottom of my heart to please help me, you may not know what it is like to be ridiculed and laughed at for being bald. I have gone into complete depression and complete isolation from the outside world because of this condition. I currently own just 2 Wigs because I cannot afford any more then that, as I have purchased the two for $200.00 a piece. Please help me with making a donation…..I am in desperate need of a new wig, as I am going to college next semester and I want to have a good head of hair on my shoulders so I can feel like a Young Women!!!
*May GOD always keep you in his prayers, Amen.
