Free Wigs For Cancer NYC 212 717 4000

A while back a I got a call from a grandmother who was looking for a wig for her 10 year old granddaughter. The phone call ended there. I told her to come in and we would do anything she needed. She and her daughter where gracious enough to let us document the event and we put together with a song that Mitch Malloy wrote with Mary Ellen Morganteen, on a video that makes a beautiful story of love, courage and giving.

That’s how Donate Your Ponytail.Com got started. We invite you to give the gift of hair and make a wig for a child with cancer.

Dear Mary Ellen,

Thank ME??? !!! Here I sat down to the computer trying to think of what to say to Andrew, to you, to Mitch, to all of you and I open your email and you are thanking US !! Oh my dear girl !! If I could reach up and grab a star from the sky, put it in a box and send it to you, it would not be enough to thank you guys ......It was not the hair that you all gave EllenRose today, it was the utter joy she experienced, the few precious moments when cancer was not part of her day. You gave her mother, my beautiful Geri, the feeling that maybe things will be ok after all. You took little Erin and made her feel so important, such an intricate part of the day. She has suffered too because of her sisters illness. She is the baby of the family you see, has always been the focus of everyone. And now, out of necessity, she is often robbed of her rightful place as - Baby......But not today, oh no !! You saw to that! ...........And me? If they are happy, I am happy. That may sound oversimplified, but that is it in a nutshell..........

I am going to write to you very soon, a really good letter with all the trimmings, but for tonight, I send you my love , my true and deep love dear friend. My heart is not heavy tonight, oh no............I feel peace, something that I have not felt in a very long time. I am going to sleep with a smile on my face, a big fat smile !!

Ellen
