Thanks to our generous donors, wigs are always free for the families who receive them.

Handmade, Just Right for Kids

Medical hair loss from chemotherapy, alopecia, trichotillomania, burns, and more can leave children’s scalps tender and raw.

Magic Yarn wigs are buttery soft, hypoallergenic, sturdy for playtime, and machine-washable.

Kids can choose from over 50 different characters!
