Annie’s Story
I’ve been losing hair since I was seven, so I’ve spent more than half my life trying to cover the problem or get rid of it. It was really hard – especially going to school – to be different and not be able to just be myself. I had many different treatments, but they didn’t work well enough.

In fourth grade, I went to Wigs for Kids and got my first Hair Replacement. I could dance, play volleyball, waterski and just walk around school without worrying about my hair. Sponsor A Child made it possible for me to do all this — the things that make me who I am.
One day, Jeffrey Paul asked me to be Wigs for Kids’ spokesperson. I was nervous about being the spokesperson because I didn’t like talking about my hair loss. But I realized that talking about it makes me feel better. I also wanted people to really hear what kids with hair loss go through, because it’s a problem that’s so hard to get people to understand.
THANK YOU for supporting Sponsor A Child. I know all the kids being helped by this amazing program would thank you too if they could.
