Charlene Blacer, Founder: "I imagine a future where children can live happy and not feel ashamed. Having witnessed younger clients who have stopped or ceased pulling without harmful side-effect drugs, I believe that if Trichotillomania is treated early, the better chances for a sufferer to live a normal life. I want to continue my mission to help stop Trich and help grow hair back. I manage my salons online and have hairstylists who do the hair services allowing me to spend more time volunteering. They also help in salon fund-raising which pays for things like how-to create a successful non-profit seminar, networking memberships, website hosting...just to name a few. My volunteer duties with HelpMe2Stop are creative and I always have to think of new ideas. I design the websites, the logos, events, ways to fund-raise and marketing. Although, I reside in Pennsylvania, I enjoy traveling internationally and learning foreign languages and culture. I can understand 6 languages. Someday I will help more Trich Sufferers worldwide."

Payton Elizabeth, Teens' Cause Campaigner: My name is Payton and I am 16 years old. I'm from New Jersey. I was chosen to be the Volunteer for the Teens' Cause Campaigner on Facebook's Causes.com/HM2S because of the amount of recruits I've gotten to join! My duties are helping spread awareness to the younger generation. I help in approving the designs for tee-shirts, buttons and prizes. I think it's a really cool way for teens to spread Trich Awareness and earn cool prizes!
If you are a company who would like your logo on our tee-shirts and giveaway iPods, iPads, Gift Certificates, Books, CDs, or anything teens would love, feel free to email me.

Johanna Cárcamo, Representante en América Central: Mi nombre es Johanna Cárcamo, nací en El Salvador el 26 de enero de 1992, tengo 19 años actualmente, Soy hija única, aproximadamente a la edad de 9 años empecé a arrancarme el pelo, y fue 4 años después que gracias a un periódico local, que me día cuenta que mi "costumbre de arrancarme el pelo" tenía nombre... "TRICOTILOMANÍA" Aún recuerdo el título del artículo: "Tricotilomanía, compulsión por arrancarse el pelo" Tuvó un impacto en esa niña de 13 años, saber que lo que hacia tenía nombre, Empece a empaparme de información en la internet y lo que encontré me asustó, Pase años con trico, a los 16 años fui por primera vez a visitar un psicólogo (no funcionó muy bien), y una psiquiatra, tome antidepresivos por un año, En febrero del 2009 logré parar de arrancarme el cabello, lo logré por más de un año, pero tuve una recaída de la cual no creí poder recuperarme, pero lo estoy logrando, muchos traumas en mi vida que me hacen tan sensible, problemas familiares, económicos, amorosos, etc... Traté muchas veces de dejar de hacerlo, y es un círculo, porque vuelves a caer... Pero he aprendido a luchar contra la Tricotilomanía, es como un mounstro o un fantasma en mi vida, Mi enemiga, Pero Soy una Guerrera y sé que algún día por fín diré: "Tricotilomanía, es solo un horrible recuerdo de mi pasado" Soy Libre! Actualmente llevo un par de meses sin arrancarme el cabello, y aunque no sé si esta vez será definitivo o recaeré... No me importa, vivo el presente, lo importante es que el dia de Hoy Mis cabellos estan felizmente en su lugar! Y lucho por ello a diario.
Y sé lo que las personas con Tricotilomanía sufrimos, en mi caso, se puede decir que lucho contra esto sola, No apoyo ni interes de parte de mi familia, no entienden lo díficil que te hace la vida la Tricotilomanía, Es por eso que quiero dar mi ayuda, y apoyo a todos aquellos que sufrimos de esta horrible manía que llega a controlar nuestras vidas...
Estoy empezando un grupo de apoyo en El Salvador y América Central, por favorenvíeme un correo electrónico!
