I think the point of the story is not the hair; it’s the spirit of giving. It’s wonderful when children to have the heart to help others. Before Christmas, I notice Salvation Army bell ringers. Many young parents here in Tennessee ring, and have their children right there beside them with bells.

I agree and the good will gesture might have some limited medicinal effect too ... but “feel good’ nonsense that accomplishes nothing really gets to me ,, it’s counterproductive “noise” to those that understand the real situation. Maybe they could have donated a few cold hats and avoided the situation in the first place .. they’re cheap and it only costs about $5 to freeze them for each use (with dry ice) .. it’s just that insurance doesn’t cover it so the hospitals don’t bring up the option with the patients.
