This program was designed to provide kids with childhood cancer the opportunity to pick the exact day and times to have their hair cut or shaved, which gives them a sense of control and confidence at this very crucial and emotional time. The goal of the Choose When 2 Lose program is to empower the children with childhood cancer who are in the throes of cancer treatment by allowing them to choose WHEN their hair will fall out.
Families with a child who has childhood cancer that is interested in using this service will contact a member of EAMF to schedule an appointment. A licensed hair stylist with specific skills and tools for shaving a small head will be dispatched to the location of choice at no charge. Stylists will travel to homes, hospitals and the Ronald Mc Donald House. Hair can be cut, shaved or braided.
