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.

Let’s go above the goal!
Saturday 1st Aug We’re blown away at how generous everyone has been to reach our original goal of $500. When hair is donated it can cost about $2500 to get the wig made. Since we’ve already reached our goal we would like to continue to raise money to help pay for the wig to be made! All your donations mean so much! Thank you!! Share
Ida’s hair donation
Thursday 16th Jul Ida has decided it’s time to cut her hair! She’s been growing it all her life and has been a real life rapunzel! She has decided that her hair should go to someone who needs it. Help us raise some pledges so that the hair she donates can be made into a wig for someone special! ShareSupporters
