Rachel lived in a small town in America. She always wanted to help others when she was young. At the age of 5, she learned about an organization named
Locks of Love. It uses hair donations to make wigs (假发) for children who have

One year later, it was her
7 birthday on June 12. She made a

Locks of Love.
