Wigs for kids

Wigs for Kids is a nonprofit organization started by Jeffrey Paul which creates wigs for children who have lost their hair either permanently or temporarily due to a medical condition. This organization accepts donations of hair and money. Volunteers run fund-raisers to offset wig costs. No child is charged for a Wig, unlike other Non-Profits.
