## Resource

A mom’s world turns upside down when her son Leo, initially thought to have shaved his head, is diagnosed with alopecia universalis — total hair loss across his entire body. Now ten, Leo faces bullying, emotional pain, and a broken NHS referral system, leaving his family desperate for private treatment options. With no licensed therapies for kids under twelve and no clear answers, they’re crowdfunding to find relief before Leo starts secondary school — and fighting for answers while the system stalls.
