When Kids Know – Kids Care is an innovative art program that enables schoolchildren to help others while learning what it's like for kids who get sick and lose their hair.
Young patients create original art that Wigs for Kids reproduces in black and white for students to color. Wigs for Kids creates note cards from the student's artwork, selling the finished cards to individuals and groups.
They’re popular fundraising items, and the proceeds help make hair systems for children.
When children lose their hair, whether as a result of medical treatments, health conditions, or burn accidents, they don't just suffer physically. The change in their appearance can drastically undermine their self-image and sabotage their self-esteem. To combat this additional trauma, Certified Cosmetic Therapist Jeffrey Paul founded Wigs for Kids, a nonprofit organization that has been serving children suffering from hair loss since 1980.
