Miss Joria

Mike's friends, Noel and Dennis, have a daughter named Joria. I don't know them, but they are close friends with Mike so I've heard stories of their family for several years now. Their daughter, Joria, started growing out her hair about a year ago with the intention of donating it to Locks of Love, but when she heard that Mike ("doc" as she calls him) had a friend who was going to lose her hair, she wanted to give her hair to me instead. Apparently she was pretty insistent that I be the one to get it. What an incredible little girl! First, she comes up with growing her hair out for Locks of Love all on her own, then, she finds someone that is merely friends with her friend "doc" and decides that they should be the one to get her hair. If only the world was filled with more people like Miss Joria! What an example of what it means to be good.



In an email that was forwarded to me, her mom and dad write a little note to a local organization in their town that reads:

Hi,

Our daughter, Joria, recently donated her hair to "Locks of Love". Locks of Love is a non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children under age 18 suffering from long-term medical hair loss.

Joria is 8 years old and a 3rd grader at Memorial School in Upton. She is the oldest of 4 siblings and lives on Mechanic St. She has been growing her hair for over a year with the intention of donating it to a child less fortunate than she. Her hair was cut by Monica at Salon Tashique in Milford.

We are so proud of her, thank you for sharing this info with others through distribution of the Town Crier!

Sincerely,

Noel and Dennis (mom and dad)

Thank You Miss Joria for being such a thoughtful, generous young lady.
