================== ARTICLE START ==================
There are many companies who make custom fitted real hair
cranial prosthesis. Locks of Love (LOL) was first started in
Dec. 1997 in connection with a for profit wig making company.
The organization then obtained its 501c certification from the
IRS. The charity began operating separately from the for profit
retailer. This was spearheaded by Madonna Coffman a retired
cardiac nurse who had a great deal of volunteer experience
working for not for profits in the surrounding Palm Beach area.


In her 20’s Mrs. Coffman developed Alopecia after receiving a
hepatitis vaccination. With medication and a doctors care, she
recovered 15 years later. Then her 4-year old daughter
developed alopecia and lost all her hair. Madonna said “her
hair loss was difficult to deal with but her daughter's was ten
times harder”. It was at this time that she quit all the other
charity work and took on LOL as a full time volunteer.

Her humble beginnings. Mrs. Coffman's garage contained bins of
mail and hair donations. By securing donated office space from
a local hospital and working with a manufacturer of the highest
quality prosthetics that she could find, LOL was off and
running. Since the beginning the charity has received a great
deal of support by both the media and its volunteers throughout
the country. LOL has been featured or mentioned on television
shows like Oprah, 20/20, The View, Jay Leno, Maury Povich, Good
Morning America, CBS Good Morning, CNN Espanol and Inside
Edition and in national publications including USA Today, The
NY Times, People, Seventeen, Glamour, CosmoGirl, Self, Redbook,
Woman's Day, ElleGirl, Child Magazine, and Ladies Home Journal.
Over 2,000 hair donations are received through the mail each
week. 80% of our hair donors are good hearted children.

The number of hairpieces produced has increased significantly
since its inception, from 21 the first year to over 1,000. LOL
has recipients in all 50 states and Canada and is working
towards its goal to help every financially disadvantaged child
suffering from long-term hair loss.
