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.

Our thoughts and go out to Sandra Bullock

After being out of the public eye for two years, Sandra Bullock is ready to come back. Sandra has been slowly making her way back into the entertainment business and the public eye since August 2023, when her longtime partner Bryan Randall died of ALS. A source told Us Weekly that Sandra is “excited about the future” and “ready to play again.”

The last time Sandra was seen was on July 12 in Beverly Hills, smiling at the photographers. She turned 60 on July 26. Sandra stopped acting after saying in March 2022 that she would be taking a break. She was in over 50 movies, including “Miss Congeniality” and “The Blind Side.”

Sandra is now set to star with Nicole Kidman in Practical Magic 2, the follow up to the cult classic Practical Magic. Someone who knows Sandra said that she is “really excited” about the project and can’t wait to spend time with Nicole.

Sandra is “open to the possibility” of dating again in the future, but she is still focused on her kids and getting better after Bryan’s death. She is slowly getting back to the life and career she loves, even though it has been hard at times.
