Donate hair to cancer patients11/28/2023 One fine morning, Amit Sadhu, a brother from our neighbourhood approached me saying, ‘I want to donate my hair for cancer patients. Gradually we began doing other activities like donating blankets etc to the needy. How the journey began? Opening up on how and when they started receiving hair donations for cancer patients, Rama told The CSR Journal, “Our NGO began for the purpose of donating stationery and chocolates to underprivileged children in 2019. Rama Das, President, Swapno Udaan On National Cancer Awareness Day, Rama Das, President, Swapno Udaan opened up to The CSR Journal talking about why we should spread the word about hair donation for cancer patients and encourage more people to come forward for the cause. One such NGO is Swapno Udaan from Bongaon in West Bengal’s North 24 Parganas district. Several NGOs, foundations, hospitals and even salons across India are working for this noble cause of receiving hair donations from people which are used to make wigs for cancer patients. In such a situation, a hair wig can tremendously help the cancer patient to restore his/her look and make them feel better psychologically, accept the changes in their body and even make them start loving their body, thus boosting their self-confidence, positivity and will to live. As a result, a person often struggles to accept the way they look during or after treatment and even during the recovery process. Powerful medicines like chemotherapy drugs attack the rapidly growing cancer cells in the patient’s body, and even their hair roots, making the person lose hair from all over their body. To make the situation even worse comes the loss of hair and even baldness which often happens as a side effect of the treatment. The physical pain and mental fear associated with the disease is enough to shatter the self-confidence of any person and make them feel, ‘I am going to die’.
