A group for Kiwis with alopecia. Maybe we could arrange to meet new people in our regions and help one another out.
Hi there,
I would be really keen to talk to fellow New Zealanders who have alopecia. I live in Palmerston North and have had alopecia for just over two years - bald as a coot although I do still have my eyebrows and eyelashes. I don't get on this ...

Hi Everyone

$70 a week care allowance for aussie alopecia sufferers.
I just had a txt from matthew (founder of princess charlotte alopecia foundation) and he told me one of the men who attended our ball from the government read a speech in parliament yesterday. He said that alopecia suffers are going to receive a $70 allowance per week to help out with wigs etc.
I have looked online but haven't seen any news about it yet. But for you aussies I would look out for some info and get in to contact with someone about it.
Hope nz follows suit!

Just thought I would leave my profile/life story (this is my write up for my foundation)
Note: this is the story on the website for the princess sharlotte alopecia foundation in NZ and Australia.
I’m Anna and have had Alopecia Universalis since I was 7, and I am now 21.
When I first started losing my hair my mum and dad thought I was cutting my hair like I did with my Barbie dolls. Then one eyebrow fell out and it became obvious that there was something wrong.
As I remember it took a few visits to the doctors to figure out exactly what was going on. When I was diagnosed I was of… Continue

Mina said… - Hi it's me again!
Small World."Alopecia World"I have had such a great time getting to meet people who have travelled the same road..the same journey.
The same adversity and anguish...........now there is light at the end of the tunnel...and I'm not as alone as I thoughI was for so many years.
See my new freedom wig!
Although..I have to shave every day in order to wear it.So I simply "don't"
However...this wig is unbelievable and yes I would recommend it..if anyone feels that they want a change.
Not only is it pretty..it feels a whole lot better than the wigs made for people with hair."FOR REAL"

Jude said… - Hi
I am interested in getting a Freedom wig. I was wondering how easy they are to style. Can you tie your hair up in a ponytail? Most of the pictures I've seen of them people tend to have their hair down.

Olivia Rusk said… - Hi Fitzy,
Thanks for adding Olivia as a friend. I am Olivia's mom, Sandy and I manage
her profile for her. Olivia has had alopecia since she was 2 years old and has lost all of her hair twice. Like you she is involved in modeling/acting. As you
said in one of your interviews, being bald can actually help you stand out from
other models during auditons. Olivia has had some amazing opportunites as a result of her alopecia. We recently wrote, filmed and produced a music vidoe about alopecia and bullying. Though Olivia has never been teased or bullied personally, we know others who have been. You can view 'I Could Be Great!' on Olivia's page under videos. Let us know what you think of it. Also, could you update us on the status of your modeling career.
