I have worked with this charity from its inception over 20 years ago. I have seen how the initial dream of helping women and children evolved and has grown to where we coordinate with other organizations in bringing joy to cancer patients in hospitals in schools in the community by donating our hair scarves, partnering with hospitals to get placement for treatment for kids and their parents who cannot afford medical care. we teach kids how to make the hair scarves that they donate. We work with the elderly who have lost their hair and also work with men who also have cancer and hair loss. This organization provides entertainment for kids in cancer hospitals.
An amazing organization helping women and children, with such an innovative way to helping build confidence and pride, where there's a need is Grade A non profit organization. Phenomenal CEO doing phenomenal work
A little hair goes a long way to offer positive self esteem for women and girls. That's what this organization offers. It's actually a blessing and the smiles of young girls say it all
Where There's A Need Inc. is an awesome non-profit organization that has been doing an inspirational work of supporting women and children with cancer both locally and globally. For more than a decade Rev. Dr. James has been a mighty beacon of light in the lives of those stricken with this dreaded disease.
Her fierce dedication to her community and her ministry is inspirational and I am proud to have served these past years as a volunteer to Where There's A Need Inc.
Kudos to Rev. Dr. James
Wow. They make little girls with baldness from cancer and alopecia feel so pretty. Great self esteem booster
Where There's A Need is the very first organization that I became aware of to offer free hair, head scarfs, wigs & hats to cancer patients. That makes it a very special company owned and operated by a very special person. The gifts clearly lift the spirits of people who are in need of such love and encouragement at some very dark & scary times. Trust me because I know first hand. Dr. Cheryl James played a major role in my fight against stage 4 cancer. I could never repay her for what she has done for me personally so I will simply say THANK YOU! I beat cancer! I am a survivor! There is no stage 5!
Wonderful Organization That I've Had The Pleasure Of Volunteering For. Puts A Smile On The Faces Of Women & Girls Who Lost Their Hair To Cancer, Alopecia And Other Ailments For No Charge!! Happy To Have Played a Part!! :-)
Where There Is A Need is a beacon of light in the community that restores hope and fosters a positive self-image in the clients it serves.
As a health educator, I realize the importance of a positive self-image as it sets the foundation to success in life. Children and adults alike, need to look in the mirror and feel good about themselves and have resources that gives them opinions to do so. Everyone has their own style and needs and this organization provides the diversity of products to suite them.
I wish continued blessings to this organization in the wonderful works they are doing and will continue to do.
We have worked with this organization for several years now and find the work they do very rewarding. They are knowledgeable professional who have a penchant or giving back to their community.
I am proud to say that Mrs. James has inspired our scholars and staff in a mighty way at PS 48. Through her living example of our moral imperative to give back to the community--she has planted the seed of altruism. Her hands-on approach in creating hair pieces for people (young and old) to restore their dignity in the midst of chronic illness --is awesome! We think "Where There's a Need" is a non-profit that is vital to our community at large. We thank God for Mrs. James and the legacy she has created.
I can not say enough about Where There's A Need. This non profit provides a much needed service to the community. CEO, Dr. Cheryl James is committed to helping young girls and women feel beautiful during difficult times in their lives. Where there's Need is a very appropriate name for the organization. When there is a need, Cheryl is there to provide the tools. tips, resources, products, commitment, compassion and love that is needed to bring a smile to her clients. When my sister lost her battle with breast cancer, I began to have an annual gathering in which we donated gift boxes and dolls to the organization to give to their clients. I have had the pleasure of meeting several of the organizations clients and their family members and seeing the positive impact that the scarves and hats have made on them as they go through their daily lives. I join these families in thanking God for this wonderful organization that is making a major impact in so many peoples lives each and every day.
Rev. Dr. Cheryl James is a wonderful woman of God who has a heart for people and especially those who are going through.
She makes wigs and hats for women and children and give her time to be sure people are encouraged and blessed. She in herself is a blanket of love.

This organization is going beyond the call of duty. They have been creating wig alternatives for women and girls who experience hair loss from cancer and alopecia for over ten years. Their hats, scarves and base ball caps with attached hair address many appearance related concerns and boost low self esteem as it relates to children with baldness.
Theyserve every age, nationality and culture, and are a source of comfort for many women and children with cancer.
I support a great cause and would help to promote what they are doing. It would be good of us all if we tried to do something for someone else less fortunate.

Where There"s A Need is the awesome and amazing organization, birthed out of the compassion the President/CEO saw while volunteering at her daughters school.

An amazing, amazing company! Proud of my mother and all the great work she does for those that are in need of help... Such a SELF-LESS organization that goes above and beyond for the needs of others. I couldn't be more proud to call her MY mother. She is a person of many, many hats and gives 110% to the work that she does. I've watched this company grow from when I was in second grade until now (being in college). I see this company going places further than anyone imagined and I cannot wait to see this company in the future!!!
My granddaughter was diagnosed with cancer six years ago. She was eight . Dr. James called me and asked if she could come by to me her. A mutual acquaintance had shared our story. Her kindness was what stayed with me. Her wig alternatives were very interesting. I had never seen anything like them. So many different styles and colors. Her organization also hold luncheons were the children are the focal point. She works tirelessly to ensure that young girls feel beautiful at a very difficult time in their lives.
As a member of a family where I loss a sister to stomach cancer and a mom to breast cancer, knowing an organization like WHERE THERE'S A NEED could have truly been invaluable to me and my family. I learned a lot about maintaining one's personal dignity during those rough periods. My sister had to contemplate shaving her head before beginning chemotherapy. Unfortunately, she didn't live to begin the treatment.
I've known the founder for some years now and can say that the mission of the tremendous group is so empowering to those who face life's physical challenges. I support this mission financially, emotionally and spiritually. It's a blessing to be able to have someone walk along side you during your most difficult periods. WHERE THERE's A NEED, INC. is dedicated to all walks of life facing hair loss as a result of a medical condition and I wholeheartedly recommend its services.
I was in need of a gift to help lift my aunt's spirits just a bit. Having previously heard Dr. James teach so passionately about supporting those with cancer and about the need for women to make our health a priority, I sought out Where There's A Need. Once I connected with the organization, I was able to find the perfect gift for my aunt. It was a beautifully styled hairpiece with a scarf attached. I wish I could describe my aunt's expression when I gave it to her. Pure Joy! Thank you Dr. James and Where There's A Need.
This organization visited my Cancer Hospital, Long Island College Hospital in Brooklyn. They gave me a scarf with a bang. I was so excited and felt beautiful and sexy. This was a great experience. I am thankful
