About Wigs for Kids

Wigs for Kids BC (W4K BC) helps kids living with cancer, live better.

A proudly volunteer-run organization, W4K BC provides funding to cover the cost of custom-made human-hair wigs for children and teens at BC Children's Hospital who have suffered hair loss due to cancer treatment or other serious illnesses. Donations to W4K BC also help families pay for medications and feeding supplies that are essential for treatment but not covered by their medical plan.

When a child has a serious illness it takes an enormous toll on the entire family–both emotionally and financially. The assistance W4K BC provides makes the family's burden a little lighter so they can focus more of their time and energy on caring for their sick child.

By contributing to W4K BC, you are making a tremendous difference in the lives of children living with cancer –and their families–across the province. Thank you for your support.

Cutting my hair for donation!

Saturday 15th Aug
My name is Heather Buchanan, and I have been wanting to cut and donate my hair to Wigs for Kids BC for quite awhile. My hair will not go far in making wigs, so in addition to the hair donation I wanted to also donate funds. I have created this fundraiser in case anyone else also would like to continue. In the past year I have had a few important people in my life be impacted by cancer, so I have selected more than one recipient and am running a Wigs for Kids BC fundraiser in addition to the Canada Helps fundraiser. Please consider donating to whichever feels right to you!
I will be cutting my hair and donating it in the next couple of weeks, but I will leave this fundraiser open for a month.
