Two brothers from Philadelphia spent over four years growing their hair long for a good cause—all while braving the name-calling and bullying it attracted. Their goal was admirable: to donate their long locks to a wig making charity for children who’ve lost their hair.
Kaleb Tekabework, 11, and his brother Aaron, 9, visited the barber for the first time in their lives on Feb. 4, World Cancer Day. Each had 19 inches of hair chopped off and donated to Wigs for Kids, a charity that provides hair pieces for young cancer patients, as well as children with burns or conditions such as alopecia and trichotillomania.
