SUPPORT

Wigs 4 Kids is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that reaches out to kids and young adults with hair loss. This program is available to any child or teen through age 17 in Michigan.  Wigs 4 Kids provides wigs and services at no cost to kids and their families and accepts donations form caring individuals, companies and organizations. Wigs 4 Kids is funded solely on the basis of contributions. Any financial support received presents a greater opportunity to help kids in need of our assistance.

Wigs 4 Kids main focus is on cancer patients and includes other young people with similar appearance related challenges that cause hair loss such as:, alopecia, trichotillomania, lupus, hydrocephalus, burns and other disorders.   By providing custom-fitted, age-appropriate wigs which are individually cut and styled, we help our kids feel better about their appearance and look more like their peers.
