Certified cosmetic therapist and stylist Jeffrey Paul, founder of this not-for-profit organization, relies on donations to help children through health crises while empowering them with confidence and self-esteem.<\/p><p>Paul founded Wigs for Kids after promising his 15-year-old niece, who had been diagnosed with Leukemia, that she would have her hair in time for her long-awaited gymnastics tryouts. Paul worked with doctors and prosthetics specialists to devise a hairpiece that would withstand typical kid activities, such as swimming, gymnastics, and sleepovers. They came up with a wig that adheres to the scalp and stays put, even under the most aggressive conditions. Even after getting wet, it would still look like the child\u2019s own hair, because every strand is hand-tied.<\/p><p>The cost to create just one child\u2019s Hair Replacement System is $1,800. 20 &#8211; 30 ponytail donations are required to make just one wig, with each being made custom made to perfectly fit the child\u2019s head. This provides comfort but also helps them feel as normal as their friends and schoolmates. With their wig they can take part in all activities without having to worry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Hear from the parents and children<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:4px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/prose-blog-media\/1\/2018\/11\/Taylor-for-AR-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12804\"\/>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:4px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div>&#8220;Thank you so much for gifting this amazing hairpiece for Taylor, allowing her to continue to be the confident little lady that she is!&#8221;<\/div><div>&#8211; Taylor&#8217;s mom\u00a0<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:4px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"3024\" height=\"4032\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/prose-blog-media\/1\/2018\/11\/image-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12805\"\/>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:4px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div>&#8220;Although Gianna doesn\u2019t understand why she doesn\u2019t have\u00a0 hair, she knows that she is still beautiful.
