Patel said she had considered donating her hair to make wigs for children with cancer, but her mother advised displaying it to inspire others. Ms. Kaminiben Patel, mother of Nilanshi Patel, said she would donate her own hair to a cancer program if her daughter cut her hair and displayed it at the museum.
