Kids
Cancer Care’s Shave Your Lid for a Kid program supports the Angle Hair for Kids
program. When our shavees and hair donors donate their hair we recommend
donating to this amazing foundation. Read below to learn more about the
foundation, hair donation and wigs for kids! Please note Kids Cancer Care does not accept hair donations. Please contact or send your hair donation to Angle Hair for Kids.
Every year Canadian children suffer hair loss due to a
variety of causes including such things as cancer treatments or burns. In order to help these children build their
confidence, a program called Angel Hair for Kids was created.
Angel Hair for Kids is a program that was created by A Child’s Voice Foundation, which was founded
in 1995. A Child’s Voice Foundation is a Canadian
charity that helps change the lives of financially disadvantaged children
across Canada. The two main programs
that the charity provides are Kids Life Line, and Angel Hair for Kids.
Angel Hair for Kids is a particularly unique program because
it helps disadvantaged children in
Canada that have lost their hair because of medical conditions or treatments,
with both wigs and solutions to hair loss.
This particular program was created to help improve a child’s
self-esteem and self-image while the child undergoes difficult and strenuous
times.
In order for A
Child’s Voice Foundation to manufacture one wig, it will take approximately
10-12 donated ponytails from people who have generously donated their hair. Kids Cancer Care
encourages shavees to donate their hair if it is at least 12 inches in length,
clean, dry, and free of chemical treatments to Angel Hair for Kids.
KCC strongly believe in donating your hair to A Child’s Voice Foundation because
the Angel Hair for Kids program directly
benefits children living within Canada. This means, that Kids Cancer Care and A
Child’s Voice Foundation are keeping the funds raised, and the hair donated,
within the country. This allows children
within our own nation to receive the help and support they deserve!
