The 3-Year Old Who Decided to Donate Her Hair

32,329 views
Emily James is a typical three-year old princess.  She loves nail polish, frilly dresses, and her Rapunzel doll, Dolly. When her hair got too long for a busy little girl, her parents suggested that she cut her hair off and donate it for wigs for cancer patients. Emily was excited to "share her hair"... on the condition that Uncle "Maffew" cut Dolly's hair too. "I don't want any kids to be sad that they have no hair," she says endearingly, "just cut some off and give it to a kid." This short video captures an adorable little girl's generous spirit.

She's so adorable. Beautiful girl with a beautiful heart. It is so nice to see children this days doing such a good thing. I have read an article like this one here http://www.exploretalent.com/articles/three-year-old-adriana-smith-gets-first-haircut-charity/ .

I admire Emily's selflessness and generosity. She seems to have been taught to consider others who are in need - a gift her for and a rarity in one so young. Thank you for sharing this beautiful soul's act of kindness, it was heart-warming to watch.

What inspired me is for her little age of three she was thinking of others and very unselfish. May her kindness for others always shine through. God bless her.

what impressed me most is that she didn' give it a second thought...and after seeing her doll get a hair cut, she knew she had to...awesome

The pure love this child has to help another person. Good parenting & role models have prevailed, kids are sponges. Your actions speak louder than words.

How naturally good-hearted little children are. Sadly, our society will beat this out of them by the time they finish middle school.

My sister a veteran just passed away from cancer, she lost her hair due to the treatments. She set out to get a wig and come to find out this place called "Locks Of Love" was the ONLY place that charged for their wigs! There are many other places to donate hair that give the cancer patients in need of wigs FREE of charge. Emily and family my heart goes out to you! HUGS
