Perla Mercado, the 4 year old daughter of our Co-President Beatrice Mercado, has been diagnosed with severe Alopecia Areata causing full hair loss on her scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, and the rest of her body. Alopecia is an auto-immune disease and affects as many as 6.8 million people in the US. Currently, there is no cure for Alopecia, but the good news is that even when the disease is “active,” hair follicles remain alive. We are hopeful that Perla’s hair will grow back. Thank you for helping us raise awareness towards this disease, and how Alopecia Areata affects children of all ages. Learn how you can help children talk about this condition with friends, teachers, and classmates.
