Maggie’s Wigs 4 Kids: Restoring Confidence, One Wig at a Time
For children experiencing hair loss, the journey can be filled with uncertainty and challenges. But thanks to Maggie’s Wigs 4 Kids, young people facing conditions like cancer treatment, alopecia, trichotillomania, and burns can regain a sense of confidence and joy through custom, hand-crafted wigs at no cost to their families.
In 2024, Great Oaks Country Club supported Maggie’s Wigs 4 Kids, helping to provide children with the opportunity to look and feel like themselves again. One of those children was 8-year-old Christine, a bright and bubbly girl living with alopecia, an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss. Christine first visited Wigs 4 Kids last year and recently returned when her pattern of hair loss changed. With the help of the program, she received a beautiful blonde wig, bringing her a newfound sense of self-esteem and happiness.
"My favorite Disney princess is Rapunzel, and this wig reminds me of her and makes me feel so special!" – Christine
Her parents were so moved by the transformation that they personally reached out after her appointment to share their heartfelt gratitude.
Through compassion, creativity, and community support, Maggie’s Wigs 4 Kids continues to empower children like Christine, giving them the confidence to shine—inside and out. Eagles for Children is proud to support this life-changing program and the difference it makes for kids across Michigan.
