HAIR DONATIONS
Hair For Hope is a partnership program with Makati Medical Center, Asian Hospital, UP Manila, ADMU and other beneficiary organizations, that provides free wigs to cancer patients. For every nine quality-passed hair bundles, Hair for Hope will give one wig to the chosen beneficiary organization for a patient in need.
GUIDELINES:
1. Make sure to dry and brush hair. To keep the hair less messy as much as possible. Clean, shampoo, and/or condition hair, without any styling, hairspray, or additional hair products. Hair for Hope accepts treated, bleached, rebonded, colored, curly or straight hair.
2. Create a ponytail with an elastic band. Measure the length of the ponytail from the elastic band to the tips, making sure it’s at least 12 inches or 30.5 cm long.
3. Cut the hair just above the elastic band so that the elastic band remains on the ponytail after cutting and keeps cut hair together.
Place the ponytail, keep it intact with the elastic band, in a zipper-locked bag and seal tightly.
4. If you choose to get your hair cut for donations from a trained hairstylist of HEADS volu-med Manila, there is a service fee of Php 400.00 that will be charged.
5. You may take a photo of the Before & After Haircut which will be posted in the Hair for Hope social media accounts.
6. You may request a Certificate of Donation by sending the following details via email to hairforhope@heads.ph
a. Complete Name
b. Pictures (Before & After Haircut)
c. Date of Donation

LYMPHEDEMA CLINICS
Lymphedema is a condition where the lymph fluid does not drain as it should, builds up in the tissues, and causes swelling. Breast cancer patients may be at risk for lymphedema if lymph nodes were removed during surgery to determine how far the cancer has spread, or if they had radiotherapy for areas with large numbers of lymph nodes. Lymphedema usually affects the arm where the lymph nodes were removed, but it can also affect other parts of the body, such as the chest wall. Swelling usually develops slowly, over time. It may develop during treatment or it may start years after treatment.
The list of clinics below is provided by the Philippine Society of Vascular Medicine (PSVM), a professional association of medical doctors who specialize on the comprehensive, non-surgical management of diseases affecting the arteries, veins, and lymphatic vessels (excluding the heart and brain).
