Review for Wigs 4 Kids, St. Clair Shores, MI, USA
A friend of mine invited me to a Wigs 4 Kids fundraiser, and I was not sure what to expect. I did not think there was such a need for this service, boy was I in for a surprise. The event was done first class, and the volunteers and staff were very organized. The staff members were caring and compassionate, the founder showed so much love for these little angels. I was moved beyond belief when I heard a recipient of the program candidly speak about how Wigs 4 Kids changed her life. This is a wonderful thing- focusing on making kids feel like their peers so they can worry about one less thing, when they are going through treatment. I commend this selfless organization for the desire to help children feel good about themselves. After all, what else is there? The self esteem of a child is so important and knowing someone cares about this; makes me think this world isn't so bad afterall.

Ways to make it better...
We all lived in a world where children and adults did not get this terrible disease.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
Funding to ssustain the program. There is no governmental support. Most of their support comes from individuals in the community and businesses. They need exposure!!
One thing I'd also say is that...
I read in the newspaper they recently opened a new wellness center, and I cried. I know they worked so hard for many years so kids would have a place to feel special. They have expanded the services they offer to include emotional counseling, arts
