Third-graders in Edmond, Oklahoma in the United States decided to make their classmate Luke Nelson feel a little better about losing his hair.
Diagnosed with alopecia in November 2018, his mom Susan Nelson told People.com that once the eight-year-old lost his hair “he immediately put a hat on and he kind of hid behind his hat,” she said.
As a supportive gesture, 14 of his classmates from Oklahoma Christian School decided to get their hair shaved off in solidarity.

As soon as the haircuts started Luke ripped off his hat and he has walked around with this confidence and this swagger.”
