Even though it was supposed to be a joke, her kid gave her one of the best gifts she could have ever received.
In order to provide for his mother, who lost her hair after radiation treatment, the man from Arizona grew out his hair for more than three years.
According to Matt Shaha, “It makes perfect sense.” “She gave me the hair in the first place.”
Melanie Shaha spent several years fighting a benign brain tumor.
“I had surgery twice for a recurrent benign brain tumor caused by a pituitary tumor in 2003 and 2006,” she said.
When it resurfaced in 2017, following two successful procedures to remove it, radiotherapy was recommended.
“I asked my doctor if I would lose my hair.” and “no” was their response.
Three months later, she went bald.
A WEEK OF TWO DAYS…
“You stand out like a sore thumb when you don’t have hair, and kind people can say things that make you cry,” she said today. “It bothers me more to look sick than it does to be sick.” I would rather blend in at the store than stick out.
Melanie’s 27-year-old son joked one day, not long after she began to lose her hair, that he should grow it out and purchase her a wig.
I have been working with Matt Shaha for a year now, and he is one of the most generous individuals I have ever encountered.
Melanie didn’t want to bother her son with the offer, even though it was such a wonderful one.
But Matt saw things differently. He let his hair grow out for the following two and a half years. When his hair reached the proper length, he went to his mother’s house with a few colleagues, and they cut it off.
I have been working with Matt Shaha for a year now, and he is one of the most generous individuals I have ever encountered. Among the first…
“We were so excited that we started crying when they started cutting,” Melanie said.
When the time came, he even paid $2,000 to have the wig made.
The mother-son pair came to a wigmaker, who hand-stitched the hair to produce a lighter and more comfortable wig. As soon as the wig came, Melanie had it styled and cut.
When Matt saw his mother in it, he said, “It’s the first time I’ve seen her look like that since she lost it, so it’s been about four years.”
Melanie, who was infatuated with her new look, acknowledged that it would be challenging to outdo her son’s gift. “It fills your heart, for sure.”
Melanie is overjoyed! Take a look at her face! Even Matt is beaming widely. I love this for them both and their families.
