Son’s Heartwarming Gift to His Mom: Donates Hair After 20 Years of Her Brain Tumor Battle!

What started as a joke turned into one of the most amazing gifts a mother could ever receive from her son.

Matt Shaha, from Arizona, spent nearly three years growing out his hair to make a wig for his mother, Melanie, who lost her hair after receiving radiation treatment.

“It’s a no-brainer,” Matt said. “She gave me the hair in the first place.”

Melanie had been battling a benign brain tumor for years. She had two surgeries in 2003 and 2006 to remove the tumor. But in 2017, when the tumor came back, she had to start radiation treatment.

“I asked my doctor, ‘Will I lose my hair?’ and they said ‘No,’” Melanie said.

But three months later, she did lose her hair.

“It’s hard when you don’t have hair. People can say things that hurt your feelings,” Melanie told Today. “I don’t mind being sick, but I mind looking sick. I’d rather blend in at the store.”

Not long after Melanie started losing her hair, her 27-year-old son Matt jokingly said he would grow out his hair and make a wig for her.

Even though Melanie thought it was a sweet offer but didn’t want to burden him, Matt was serious about it. He spent the next two and a half years growing his hair long enough to make a wig.

When Matt’s hair was long enough, he and a few coworkers went to his mom’s house to cut it off. Melanie said, “We were super pumped, and when they started cutting, we bawled.”

Matt even paid $2,000 to have the wig made. They found a wigmaker who hand-stitched the hair to make it lighter and more comfortable. Once the wig was delivered, Melanie had it cut and styled.

“Seeing her in it was the first time I had seen my mom look like that since she lost her hair, so it’s been about four years,” Matt said.

Melanie loved her new look and felt deeply touched by her son’s gift. “It sure fills your emotional cup,” she said.

Look at the joy on Melanie’s face! Even Matt is beaming with happiness. I love this for both of them and their family.

Plus-sized model claps back at trolls who attack bikini photos – ‘look away’

A plus-sized influencer is hitting back at trolls who ask her to cover up her size 22 body. The woman, who says she “will always be unapologetically fat,” faced criticism when she started sharing daring photos. Despite the cruel attacks, she dismisses critics, asserting that plus-size bodies are “hot” and “look good in a bikini.”

In a world emphasizing unrealistic beauty standards, influencers like Abby Bible promote self-love and body positivity. Despite negativity, the 25-year-old’s positive attitude and love for fashion send a powerful message. The 6-foot-1 New York-based influencer often explains on Instagram that she refuses to conform to society’s “toxic” expectations.

Appearing on Dr. Phil, Bible shared her struggle with weight since childhood. At 14, she weighed about 200 pounds and faced harsh criticism from a personal trainer. Although she lost 100 pounds at one point, she remained unhappy. Now, in a loving relationship, she reminds others that plus-size bodies are beautiful.

In a viral TikTok video, Bible wore a red string bikini, responding to a troll saying “fat people shouldn’t wear string bikinis.” She captioned, “If you don’t like it, look away,” inspiring fans to embrace body confidence.

While some netizens support her, others express concern about her health. Bible, who hasn’t addressed health concerns, emphasizes, “Just because you’re thin, doesn’t mean you’re better than me. I am an unapologetic fat girl… I’m always going to be happy with myself.”
