"Since I was 14, I've suffered with a condition called Trichotillomania.  I
expect most people won't know what this is, but it's a compulsion to play with and pull out your own hair (http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/trichotillomania/Pages/introduction.aspx).  This was brought on by the sudden death of my stepfather, who had been the only father figure I had known.

So as a consequence, since the age of 14, I've suffered with being bald.  The loss of friends and bullying that followed made my teenage years pretty difficult, and my self confidence was non-existent.  

Several years ago, I discovered a system that could be used over what little hair I had to help cover this baldness.  As cliché as this sounds, it changed my life.  I'm a completely different person.  I take pride in how I look, I'm outgoing, I'm confident and I'm happy.  

Unfortunately, this system is now becoming too worn to use and I'm unable to afford the cost required replace it.  Due to an ongoing disability, I only work 16 hours a week and can earn limited money.  As hard as it is to admit to the condition and to explain my situation, any help you can provide to help fund a new system would be greatly appreciated.

If anyone has any questions or wants any more information, please  feel free just get in touch."
