Carlsbad 6-Year-Old Organizes Locks of Love Event for Entire Community

Lilli Pisarczyk, a first grader at Hope Elementary is hoping others feel inspired this time of year to give the gift of hair to financially disadvantaged children suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis.

Six-year-old Lilli Pisarczyk heard about Locks of Love after her friend particapted in a hair cutting drive in La Costa.

"Once she heard about that.. she wanted to do it," said Lilli's mother, Melanie Sliwka. "I just attended Amy Miller's parenting class and learned a lot about empowering our kids so I asked Lilli if she would want to organize an event so others could donate as well...and she was off and running."

Lilli started making posters and even phone calls to arrange the hair dressers.

"I'm just here to help and be her right hand mom," Sliwka said.

So far two people have signed up to donate ten inches of hair to Locks of Love, but Sliwka and her daughter are hoping to get ten people signed up.  

The event is open to the public. Get a free holiday haircut by stylist Charlotte Lollick and her crew on Wednesday, Dec. 12 at 2:30 p.m. at Hope Elementary. 

To reserve a spot, email melaniesliwka@gmail.com

Prizes will be a awarded for the longest donation and the shortest hair cut.

'...MPH degree program to attend a 3-day workshop ... challenge the CNA licensure examination inRead More California.... ... Aristotle felt that by becoming licensed professionals in the U.S. shortly after their arrival to the shores of the U.S., they would have a greater opportunity to receive better clinical positions when they applied for the work-study internships that they were eligible to participate in....' the school told students that were enrolled in masters' degrees that certification as a cna was part of the road to obtaining a masters degree ?? stop right there... masters in public health is an administrative position that has nothing to do with being a cna....and i'm sure people didn't travel thousands of miles to do the grunt work in a hospital.... yea, getting a cna license is a great suggestion for an 18 year old that's going into the nursing field....but not for someone in the masters' program.... and fyi phony college.....in this country a person has to have a 4 year degree before they can apply for the masters' program....
