Not too long ago my little girl asked me not to pull her hair back
into a pony tail because she didn't want anyone to see her bald
spots in her eyebrows. It really hurt my heart to know that she was
worrying about this or even cared what other people thought. I
asked her if anyone ever said anything about her eyebrows and she
said no. I found it really hard to believe something or somebody
didn't provoke her concerns, but granted her request to leave the
hair down.
This led me to think about what I am going to do the day that
somebody actually DOES notice, and says something to her. I'd like
to think I have her prepared to tell people what her disorder is.
She knows how to pronounce the word "Trichotillomania" and she can
tell you exactly what it is. But is she prepared for any harsh
words that may come her way? Am I?
That's when I remembered Severson Sisters...
Founder Carrie Severson had been a High School friend of mine and I
heard about her nonprofit a while ago but didn't know how it would
apply to my life, until now.
Severson Sisters is a non-profit organization that empowers females
in the world. We provide programs and services that help girls
‘Connect to their Inner Super Girl.’ Our mission is to inspire
Super Girls of all ages to live their life as their authentic,
awesome, super self. Severson Sisters plays a role in the lives of
Super Girls to help them become confident Super Women who will lead
their communities. We do this by offering a creative and supportive
program called the Super Girl Program.

I realized I would like to become a part of this organization not
only for my daughter, but for other young girls who have ever been
bullied because of Trich. I am currently raising the funds to become
a certified facilitator. If you get the chance, stop by and donate!
