Six-year-old cuts her Rapunzel hair to make a wig as a Christmas gift for cancer patients
Tia Costa
Tia Costa, a six-year-old resident of Bandra would never let anybody touch her hair. Cutting them was next to impossible. Inspired by a video on Instagram, Tia cut her knee-length tresses to get a wig made out of it for cancer patients.
Touched by how cancer patients lose their hair during chemotherapy, Tia wanted to gift a wig made up of her tresses as a Christmas gift to a needy patient. When asked how she felt parting away from her hair, which she fondly named Rapunzel hair, the six-year-old said, I am happy that I can share my hair with a needy. My hair will grow back, but by donating, I will be able to put a smile on someone s face, who lost their hair due to cancer.
