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. Christine was thrilled with her new wig and shared:
"My favorite Disney princess is Rapunzel, and this wig reminds me of her and makes me feel so special!"
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.
