Maddi’s Story - Alopecia Areata
This is Maddi’s story. ** PLEASE SHARE THIS VIDEO WITH YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS, CO-WORKERS, ETC. HELP US RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT THIS DISEASE, AND THE PEOPLE WHO CAN HELP!!! My daughter Maddi was diagnosed with Alopecia in November of 2005 at the age of 14. Alopecia has no bounds, it can affect ANYONE at ANYTIME. It is NOT contagious. It is NOT hereditary. Medically, there is no CURE. I immediately researched what to do medically. Nothing I found gave us any hope, until we were directed to a Kinesiologist (a Hollistic, Herbal treatment doctor), Dr. Lanny Lipson. He is amazing! Maddi’s hair loss haulted, and new hair grew in… even darker than before! We had to stop her treatments due to the financial strain of having no medical insurance, but we know what her triggers are now, and we avoid them. Maddi has new hair growth still, her eyebrows are back! Since she isn’t completely bald, but still has a strange hair growth pattern, she was embarrased and self concious in school and in public. Then we learned about Wigs 4 Kids, a non-profit organization here in Michigan that provides free wigs and services to kids 18 and under. What an amazing team they have there! Miss Maggie is an angel, and their staff is wonderful! Wigs 4 Kids operates SOLELY on donations, and they are always looking for individuals and organizations to Adopt-A-Kid! PLEASE PASS THIS VIDEO, AND IT’S IMPORTANT MESSAGE ON TO ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, CO-WORKERS, ETC. ALOPECIA CAN STRIKE ANYONE AT ANYTIME. IF IT …

My sister is13, turning 14 in October. She has had Alopecia since she was 2. From Kindergarden to 3rd grade she wore a wig. Then from 4th grade to 6th grade she wore a bandanna. And from 7th to present she wears a wig. In the middle of 7th grade we moved across the county so only 2 or 3 people at our school knows she wears a wig. We are starting 8th grade in August. 4th grade was probably the worst for her. She realized who were her true friends and who were fake. Her name is Julianna.

I actually think of Alopecia as a good thing…..but there can be times when it gets hard…. I am in th 8th grade and wear a wig to school. I am also on a website called alopecia world this site let’s people with alopecia connect to one another. :)

What a brave girl… keep on!
Maddi- what a courageous and beautiful young woman! My sis has alopecia & I know how hard it’s been for her! It has changed me too; I am not a vain person because of her. Please keep your chin up. Ignorance makes people say stupid things, pity them.
i am crying is she okay
i have alopecia dealt with it for 5yrs now it all started my freshmen year of high school i totally know what she went through high school is just a big fashion show and those who dare look different are frowned upon i looked horrible what was worse was that my parents didnt and still dont know how to help me i learned to deal with the pain and live with the bald spots after all we still beautiful
I have alopecia even now, and im in grade 10.
i had iit 8 times, but then last year it all just fell out. i used too have large hair but it all fell out. i shaved my head and donated what was left to a childrens wigs for cancer charity. now im losing my eyelashes and eyebrows, but you have to stay strong.
the model makes the hair.
the hair doesnt make the model.
My daughter also has alopecia. Now almost 8 years old and in second grade she came home crying today because a girl wouldn’t play with her because she is bald(has been since age 3). Our source of comfort has been C.A.P. childrens alopecia project. Thanks for posting to show everyone that different doesn’t mean bad.
I had allopecia from the end of third grade to the beginning of fifth, and it screwed up my life. I lost all of my friends once it was noticable and I was mocked constantly. I lost almost all of my memory from those years because of it. I’m now the same age as Maddi was when she first got it, and it’s coming back. :
I suffer With this also! It has bought down my confidence level a great bit and i do not kno what to do.
