About Wigs for Kids

Wigs for Kids BC provides free wigs to children in BC who lose their hair due to cancer or other medical conditions. Doctors, social workers, and parents have shared that these wigs are vital in helping children return to school and daily life with confidence and are a huge help in a child's recovery.

In addition, we help families cover the costs of:

• Feeding supplies (tubes, pumps, formulas) not covered by MSP—essential for children who can’t eat normally during recovery.
•  Cancer medications such as anti nausea drugs and a medication to get blood levels at a point where the child can have chemotherapy treatment but are not publicly funded.
• Transportation to and from treatment, especially for those without a vehicle—ensuring children aren’t taking public transit after intensive treatments.
• Out-of-province medical care—we donate $100,000 annually to help families travel to specialized treatment centers when care isn’t available locally.

Our goal is to relieve some of the financial burden so families can focus on helping their child heal. To continue this work, we need to raise $250,000–$300,000 each year.  We are volunteer run and with no overhead every dollar raised goes to help BC kids and their families fighting or recovering from cancer.

Here’s a recent message we received from a grateful family:

“A heartfelt thank you for covering the costs of feeding supplies for our daughter, who needs G-tube feeds after chemotherapy. This has been a tremendous help as we navigate life after nearly a year away from home for treatment. We are so grateful for your continued support.”
