DID YOU KNOW?
- This year, 10,000 Canadian children will lose their
hair to Alopecia, Burns or Cancer chemotherapy and radiation
treatments.
- In our first three years, we have provided wig systems at no charge
to over 150 kids
- We are the only Canadian charity that provides this
service nationally for kids 19 and under.
During a time when children find themselves struggling with
painful and difficult medical conditions, losing their hair can have a
devastating effect on their self-esteem and confidence.
Angel Hair for Kids provides human or
synthetic hair wigs for children from financially disadvantaged families
who have lost their hair as a result of the A,B,C's of hair loss:
Alopecia, Burns and Cancer chemotherapy and radiation
treatments.
Angel Hair For Kids does not manufacture the
wigs directly. Although we have special relationships with
professional wig manufacturers who supply their services to
Angel Hair For Kids at a nominal fee,
A Child’s Voice Foundation must use its funds to
have each wig manufactured. Once created, each wig is
fitted and styled for a specific child and given to them at no cost
to their family.
At any given time, Angel Hair for Kids has
between 5 and 10 applications waiting to be processed and the demand is
increasing. These requests come primarily from Sick Children’s Hospitals,
pediactric oncologists, interlink nurses and social workers in the
community.
To make a human hair wig requires 10-12 donations of untreated hair, as
well as approximately $800.00 for materials and manufacturing to turn the
hair into children’s wigs.
