Alexia, WA

“When Alexia found out children could get really sick and result in them losing their hair from treatment or illness, she learnt that her hair could be donated to be made into wigs for them. She really wanted to help them in any way she could, so she cut her hair, donated it and fundraised along the way.”

River

I had never cut my hair (except for tiny trims) since I was a baby. As I got older, it got more difficult to look after. At last I decided to cut it. I had heard about donating hair for wigs for children with cancer and I thought that was something wonderful I could do with my hair, so I did! And now I love my new shorter hair.

Ryder, NSW

I hope my hair finds a lovely home x

Mia, NSW

knowing that other kids who are already struggling with cancer sometimes lose their hair, Mia felt that it wasn't fair for them and she wanted to donate her hair because it will always grow back. She is very excited with her new hairstyle and hopes that by donating her hair she can bring a smile to someone elses face.  

Carly

I have been growing it for over 7 years, always with the plan to donate it one day. I put it off for a long time, because I'd grown attached to it, but once I actually looked into how to donate to the Kids With Cancer Foundation, I realised someone else needed my hair much more than I did.

Ayla, NSW

Ayla decided to donate her hair for wigs 4 kids after a friend of her Mum's was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and the treatment made her hair fall out. Ayla realised there were kids that were loosing their hair and decided to donate her locks to help them feel a little bit better about everything. Her surf club got completely behind her campaign as they were very tired of asking Ayla to tie her hair up for her training in the ocean ?

Poppy, NSW

Poppy decided in march last year she wanted to grow her hair to donate it to help make a wig for another child.  She decided this as every 3 or so months she has to go to he Children's Hospital at Randwick because of her back. She has been in a back brace since she was 7yrs old and gets to chat to many other kids at the hospital.

“18 months ago I learnt it was possible to donate my long locks to create wigs for people with cancer. I, like many of you, have lost loved ones to cancer. So I instantly decided this was something I had to do! I believe that no one's life deserves to be cut short by cancer, especially not children. Therefore, I cut my long locks, raised money and spread awareness for the incredible Kids With Cancer Foundation.”

I saw this video one day, and it explained what happens when people get cancer. That’s when I found out people lose their hair as well. When I realised this,  I wanted to help someone who had lost their hair by donating mine.

Olivia, TAS

Donating my hair has always been something I’ve wanted to do, and I feel very sorry for kids who don’t have hair due to having cancer treatment. So, I decided to chop it off and make a child’s dream come true. I guarantee my hair will go to someone very well deserving!

Emily, NSW

I chose to participate because I've always wanted to donate my hair when it was long enough so a young child doesn't have to feel embarrassed or self-conscious while fighting such a harsh battle. I wish to make them comfortable and feel as normal as possible. So at the end of March when I was diagnosed with a brain tumour I knew it was the time to give a child the long healthy hair I spent forever growing before I destroyed it with my own treatment.

Maddison, NSW

Hopefully this helps to bring a smile to a child’s face with one of your wigs during a very difficult time.

Joanna, NSW

When I was in primary school one of my close friends was diagnosed with cancer and had to shave her head. She was away from primary school for 3 years. She didn’t have the chance to have a wig and I would love for someone like her to have one now. She was a bit self-conscious. She is now in high school, with long hair and doing well. I admired her and wanted to do something for someone else and these very brave people. My friend’s mum was also recently diagnosed with cancer and lost her hair, she has been in severe isolation from the start of high school. To whoever gets my hair I love you and you are beautiful and it may not matter but I am proud of you.

Bryher

I am only 17 but throughout my life I have had many of my loved ones who have gone through cancer and lost their hair. It is heartbreaking and being able to provide maybe a little bit of joy in their time of need is something I hope to be able to do by donating my hair. 

Rani WA,

I'm donating my hair for a wig as I don't want kids to feel sad and left out because they don't have hair. It doesn't matter what you look like because it's on the inside that really matters but I'm hoping my hair will help make a difference to a kids life.

Willow, NSW

I hope my hair can make another child happy 

Saanvi

I found out from Facebook about donating hair for kids with medical conditions. I waited patently until my hair grew to a good length to donate. I am so pleased that my hair will be used to make wigs for these amazing kids. I can't wait for my hair to grow to do this again.

Kai-Leigh,

Growing up, I experienced cancer by losing both my grandmothers and great-grandmother and watching my godfather, uncle, cousin, and multiple family friends suffer from this wretched disease. Along with the ongoing threat of both my parents, as well as my brother and I developing cancer.

At only 15 years old I decided I wanted to shave my head but continually put it off for about 2 years due to my year 11 and 12 formals. During that time we joined a non for profit motorcycle club named the CRABs which stands for Cancer Research Advocate Bikers, who ride their bikes, run raffles and other fundraisers and turn all of their profits over to the Royal Adelaide Hospital Cancer Research Fund annually.

A week into my final year of school, and a few days before my 17th birthday I decided, "you know what, other people don't get a choice when they lose their hair so why wait?" And just like that I started a GoFundMe, asking my parents, friends and my school to help share it around and just like that I started receiving donations. It started slowly only reaching around $200 after two weeks out of my goal of $1000. My family and I kept sharing it and telling people about it and in the end, were able to donate $1700 before shaving my head. On that, my school is yet to donate in the coming weeks and hopefully help me to achieve a grand total of $2000.

Christine, VIC 

 I have always loved the idea of donating hair to be made into Wigs 4 kids as this small change for me makes a massive difference to a child's life. I feel honoured to be able to help a child feel confident and spread happiness. These smiles are what inspired me to donate my hair. 

Kellie-Ann NSW,

Sam, NSW

Sam has been growing his hair for 3 1/2 years. He has healthy, thick and curly hair. Everyone comments on how gorgeous his hair is. He decided that he wanted to cut it all off and donate it to kids who have lost their hair due to cancer. 

Leela, NSW

Donated her hair to make a child with cancer feel a little more normal!

Kenzo, WA

Initially we just let Kenzo’s hair grow out since birth, and I wanted to let it grow until he was old enough to decide if he wanted to keep it long or cut it short. At that point it was already quite long, so we decided to grow it out long enough so that once it was cut, it could be used in a positive way rather than discarded. 

We also wanted to use it as a lesson to not be wasteful and find ways in which you can reuse or recycle things. It was also a good opportunity to teach Kenzo about the struggles that some children/people may face, and that if you find yourself in a privileged and fortunate position where you could provide help to someone in need, you should do so. 

Lucy,

Yesterday I finally cut my hair. It was sent to Ella Wigmakers and posted this morning. I have been growing my hair for almost 2 years and I feel a sense of accomplishment in that I have achieved my goal of sending my hair to help bring happiness to a child that has lost their hair through cancer treatment.

Harley,

Would love to inspire others to help a child in need!

Willow

This is a cause very close to our families heart and I’m greatful we can help.

Vippy,

I have sent x2 different set of hairs to the address mentioned. Hopefully they will be worth it and some one will have a smile on their face. 

I overheard the conversation about someone growing her hair so she could donate. That's what inspired me. Every child is special, and no one should feel less confident.

Layla, NSW

Jing Wang, Vic

. My hair is a descent length and not bad quality. I’ve heard of hair donation on social media. So I decide to donate my hair to kids with cancer after web search. Hope my hair can help at least one little angel feel confident and normal. And I probably will get my daughter to do the same thing when her hair grows longer. 

Lakyn

Lara, Qld

Lara suddenly decided on the weekend to cut her hair short and asked me to find out if her hair could be donated in some way. A quick google search found the Wigs 4 Kids campaign and we decided that was a perfect choice!

Jerome

Decided to donate her pony tails to wigs for kids as a gift in her way of paying it forward.

Alex, WA

I'd love to share my story (although nothing special) to help inspire someone else to donate. I simply went in for a haircut. Said I wanted a decent cut and the hair dresser asked if I was donating it. I replied, "do you think it's long enough?" not realising the length of my hair.

With some quick googling to confirm the length needed and where I could donate, the decision was made. 

 I'm so glad this spur of the moment decision will help a child going through one of the most difficult chapters of their life. I've already inspired my daughter, and she's working on growing her hair out to donate next.  

Bayly,

Maya, 12, WA

Maya had grown her hair super long and was resisting my calls for a cut when eventually she decided it was too tricky to manage and she wanted it cut and to donate her hair to a great cause.

Lily 13 NSW

Lily has been growing her hair for quite a few years deciding to cut and donate to Wigs for Kids when it was long enough as she felt passionate about such a good cause. She needed to be able to cut it to a length that could be tied back for sport etc. So a few days before 13th her birthday we booked an appointment with our trusty hairdresser and they chopped off 30cm of beautiful blond locks! In addition to the hair Lily has managed to raise nearly $1000 for Wigs4Kids to help make the wigs.

Sandy

It is so rewarding to do something for people and kids who suffer from cancer. I donated my hair in 2020 first time, and I felt satisfied. I grew my hair again with the purpose of donation again. On 30^th August 2023, I am donating my hair once again for people who need it most in shape of wigs.

I am hoping to do it again in future.

Sophie

Boone, NSW

He had been growing his hair for two years to donate, this to dedicate to his big brother, Liam, who had been going through the treatments due to cancer in his stomach. The story was when Boone was 6 years old, and he noticed that his big brother Liam had lost his hair (Liam was 27 at the time). Boone had no idea what caused him that but only knew that his brother was not too well. He then said to Liam “Liam, I will give you my hair” So he started growing his hair since. Boone was bullied by lots of people because they think boys shouldn’t have long hair. He was even asked if he wanted to be a girl just because of long hair. But Boone was calm and explained them that it’s for donation. As Boone is getting older and understands more about cancer, how to help and support those people like Liam etc, Now he’s happy and proud to donate his silky long hair to your foundation. He (and myself) hopes his hair can be given to someone that really needs it and it brings back their smile on the face. 

Shivani NSW

I started study, and continue job in healthcare, not getting time, and for just a change, decided to do short hair as my hair grows very quickly, and one of my friend giving me your organisation details to donation, when she knew about my hair cut, so I was very happy to make some one happy because of my little support as you guys are doing great work.

Sophia, NSW

My name is Sophia and I am 9 years old.

I love that I can do good for the world (especially for kids my own age!) I ended up cutting 26cm of my hair off. I used to dream about having my hair dangle down to where my feet are, but I'm glad I cut it, because my old hair has now become " A piece of Hair with a Purpose "

Charlotte, age 6, from Victoria, decided when she was just two years old, that she wanted to donate her hair to be made into a wig for a child with cancer.

Charlotte is very excited to know that her actions will make a big difference for another special person.
 Charlotte has donated 36cm of hair and is already looking forward to donating again in a few years.

Maya & Naomi, NSW

Sadly we lost our daughter/sister, Lola, to brain cancer in March 2022 at just 20 months old. Lola endured so much in her short life, she was so brave and beautiful whose smile would light up any room. We miss her and talk about her every single day. Although she didn’t need her own wig, we saw first hand how hard it was for some of these kids to start treatment because the thought of losing their hair was too scary. So together we decided to grow our hair long enough to donate it to Wigs 4 Kids to hopefully help a child feel more comfortable and confident while going through the biggest battle of their life. So proud of my big girl!

Alfie, VIC

Alfie started growing his mullet in 2022. It wasn't planned to be his hair style for long…but here we are 2 years later! It is now time for a change (he also is no longer a fan of a hairbrush), so we thought why not donate his glorious and thick hair if possible, to others in need. Alfie is now very pleased with himself.

Debbie

A routine mammogram identified an early cancer.  I am lucky because it was small, could be fully removed and was found before it had spread.  I am undergoing chemo to ensure it doesn't come back. I didn't want my long hair to simply fall out and go to waste, so looked for donation opportunities in Australia. I work in a primary school so, when students comment on my hair, it has been great to be able to answer "It's on its way to NSW to become a wig for a child who may be going through cancer" and it's been a great talking point. One girl, who cut her hair a fair while back still apparently has the braided hair at home but wasn't sure where she could send it - she even asked me for information on how to send it to you.

Emelie, SA

In December 2022 my mum was diagnosed with cancer in her stomach. I spent a few months caring for her until she passed on the 1st of march 2023. After her passing I was looking for ways to make a change and to help with my grief and I found your organisation wigs4kids. It was exactly what I had been looking for. I started a fundraiser to shave my head on what would have been my mums birthday. Not only did I raise money for a great cause, I also got to make a difference in someone’s life and help with my grief. To this day, shaving my hair off has been one of the best things I have done.

Stellah, NSW

Hi, I am Stellah. I decided to donate my hair because I love helping others. My mum had cancer when she was a child so I wanted to give back and help other children who may have lost their hair due to chemo or radiation. I love my hair so much and hope that someone else can get some joy out of it as well! 

I am thankful for being in the position to be able to donate. 

Joshua and Theo 

School Captain Joshua and his younger brother Theo have spent the last two years growing their hair so they could donate it to the ‘Kids with Cancer Foundation’ that makes wigs for kids battling with cancer. They recently had their long locks cut and posted their hair to the wig making centre.

Kajol

I have had the privilege to donate my 30cm hair and send it to Ella wigmakers. Thank you for allowing me to donate my hair. You guys are doing amazing work. Sending you all love and light. 

Aimee-Lee, NSW

My Advice to others: Just cut it! Your hair will grow back, but in the meantime, you're potentionally making a sick child smile and boosting their confidence.  All Kids deserve that!

Rachel, NSW 

Iv'e always wanted to grow my hair to donate to a child that is battling cancer.  Just being able to contribute to giving a child a reason to smile and feel confident absolutely warms my heart.

Ava, NSW

At the age of 6 Ava saw a story online where a sick child was being bullied at school for not having any hair. It made her very sad and felt so bad for them. I explained wigs are very expensive and that people can donate their hair to make wigs for kids with cancer.   She decided then to grow her hair and donate it to help sick kids have nice wigs so they wouldn't feel sad or get bullied at school for looking different. She grew her hair for 2 years, and now loves her new hair.

Elleanor, NSW

"I wanted to raise money & donate my hair to care for other children, I thought it would be a nice thing to & I hope it makes a sick child happy"

Aimlee,

I wanted to cut my hair and thought why not help kids that need it more than I do 

Fraser, WA

Fraser's mum commented "From a very young age Fraser had the most beautiful hair, people would often comment on it. we decided that when we did cut it off it should go to someone else who would love it as much as we did. We decided that Fraser would get his new smart haircut for the start of kindy.  He is very proud of himself and hopes it will make a difference to another kid. We were also blown away with his fundraiser, he smashed it and we are so grateful to our friends and families donations, helping to make life just a little easier for another family going through a really tough time. "

Cooper, SA

Cut his long hair to help sick kids!

Puspa,

11 years ago I inspired by a friend of mine who shaved her head (while heavily pregnant) to raising money for charity. Since then doing something brave like that become one of my bucketlist.

I am blessed with three beautiful and healthy kids and often my heart breaks when I hear/read/see kids with cancer or other medical conditions. Even more heart breaking when the family breaks apart because of financial difficulties, relationship hardship or other challenges.

I also want to teach my kids to be grateful for their health, to be kind to others who are less fortunate than them, to be confident not depend on their looks and see the life is so much more than themselves.

Melissa, WA

I wanted to find a different way of where I could help make a difference in the lives of children diagnosed with leukaemia. I was approached by a fellow work colleague asking me to donate my hair as his daughter has donated twice now but to a different cause. I googled all the different links but the one website that hit home more was kids with cancer foundation. I lost my mum to Acute Lymphocytic leukaemia at a young age of 34 when I was aged 5 So I thought what more a better way to give back to such a great cause than this.

Claire

I was inspired to cut my hair because “My auntie went through breast cancer and had wigs when I was a little girl - I was always inspired by her! Being mother to a little boy, I want to show him the gift of giving!”

Sharni, NSW

Well I’ve been planning on cutting my hair for a few months now and I’m one day my mum suggested to me that maybe I could donate it and I really loved the idea and the more I thought about it and looked into it the more I wanted to do it.

Lenna, NSW

Throughout my life I have been a regular hospital patient and I wanted a way to give back, so I decided to donate my hair and fundraise with wigs for kids. I wanted to help bring back a child’s confidence and give them a reason to smile.

Jasmine, NSW

Jasmine decided 9 months ago that she was going to grow her hair and donate it to children who needed it due to hair lose.  

Cynthia, NSW

Cutting her hair for Kids with Cancer!

Olivia, NSW

My name is Olivia I'm 16 and I chopped off my ponytail. Personally, I have not been affected by cancer but I know that it doesn't hurt to be kind. Doing a simple act such as cutting your hair and donating it can give someone happiness in a time that can be a great struggle for them. If more people start participating in acting kind we will have more smiles spreading across the world. Kindness is at the cost of nothing.

Hope my hair help give someone confidence and hope that things will get better.

Susan

I first saw people suffer ages ago, and I hated seeing people suffer because of them not having any hair. I wanted people who couldn’t grow their hair to feel pretty in the inside and out, so I waited around 2 years to be able to take such action. I would like to continue helping in any way possible and make such differences! ??

Emmerson, VIC

Emmerson decided to donate her hair because she is constantly told that she has beautiful hair and wanted to share it with someone who is going through a hard time. This is one small way she can help. She hopes she can brighten the day of another red haired girl who might not have been able to find a red haired wig.

Quinn VIC,

I became extremely ill at the end of 2019. Luckily, I recovered well within only a couple of weeks. During my stay in the ICU at the Children's Hospital I saw many sick children, one beautiful little girl in particular stood out to me because she had no hair, then I began to notice more and more kids who didn't have hair.  I asked mum lots of questions, she explained as best she could and I decided I wanted to help.

Izabel, NSW

“Lately was thinking how I could help people in need, but I work a lot and couldn't find the time to do it,  or have enough money to donate.

One day I came across with this video on instagram, this little girl getting her wig and that made me very happy and emotional. I got inspired and decided to donate my hair.

I lost my gramma for cancer and I could do anything to help people going through this especially kids.

Donating my hair felt very special and made me very happy ? “

Beautiful Sisters :) 

Lila decided almost 2 years ago that she wanted to do something to help kids with cancer after seeing something on TV and decided she would grow her hair long so it could be made into wigs for kids with cancer. Her little sisters love doing the same things she does so it didn’t take any convincing for them to want to grow their hair to help too! 

Konnor

We hope you love his hair just as much as we all did. 

With Love, Konnor & Family xoxoxox

Georgia, QLD

I have had long hair for many years, but after my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer and recently lost her hair, I decided it would be a good idea to cut and donate mine??.

Will, NSW

Had been growing his hair for 2½ years before cutting it!

He started growing his hair for the fun of it, then at the beginning of the year, his Nan mentioned that some people donate their hair to kids who lost theirs. He loved that idea and soon asked if it was possible to "make money for the scientists so they can make better medicines and people wouldn't loose their hair in the first place"

Then in May this year Will's Narni, was diagnosed with lung cancer and passed 11 weeks later. As you can imagine, this gave him a much more personal and deeper understanding of how amazing and important his choice to do this was.  He cut it on the 9th of December, which would have been Narni's 66th birthday.

Adele, VIC

My name is Adele and I am 10 years old. I have never dyed my hair before and would like to donate it to Wigs4Kids. I started growing my hair roughly 2 years ago when my Aunty got breast cancer. Now she is finished with cancer but my friend has gotten Leukaemia and is being treated at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne. This is the first time I have donated my hair

Sophie NSW,

Sophie hopes her hair will help to make a sick child feel better

Ruby & Lucy

We decided to cut our hair off to donate it to Wigs 4 Kids. We decided to donate hair as we have friends close to us that have had cancer and lost their hair. Knowing how hard that can be for people and being able to donate 45cm and 25cm of of hair to create a wig for someone is amazing 

Rebecca & Summer, NSW

We are so happy we could help support a child that is going through such a devastating time in their life. We hope this small gesture can make a difference. 

Allison

Was very happy and glad to know her hair would help someone else out.

Grace, ACT

Grace will be 7 next month and had barely had a hair trim in her life so when she decided she wanted her hair cut short, we decided to put her hair to good use and donate it to be made for someone who needs it. In just a few days we were able to raise $1746 for the Kids with Cancer Foundation. It was a beautiful learning experience for our girl.

Zane, VIC

I cut my hair to fundraise to help sick kids throughout Australia.  Some of my close relatives have been diagnosed with cancer and been through radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, whilst others are just beginning their battle.  Cutting my hair will not benefit them, but donating my hair will make a world of difference for a kid that has lost their own.  

Ruby, NSW

Ruby, aged 10 years, has always had beautiful long hair. As she sat in the chair, for her 'back to school' haircut, she asked her hairdresser could she cut her hair to her shoulders, so that she could donate her hair to make a wig for someone going through cancer treatment, in memory of our very special friend Tam. Tam passed from breast cancer at age 30, she was such a big part of our lives, she had a rare disability, and only saw the happy in life. 

 Ruby wanted to give someone the opportunity to have a beautiful wig, just like Tam had.

Elisabeth, NSW

Today (25/1/2023) I cut my long hair ready to be sent to the wigmakers for a wig for a child with cancer.  I was feeling very nervous but also excited at the same time.  

I would like to encourage you to donate your hair if you want because it is all for a great cause.  If you are like me and you've wanted your hair shorter and you have very long hair, why not donate it?  This is a great cause :-) ".

Angie,

I have been thinking of donating my hair for about the last 3 years, the event that made me actually do it was that 1 of my best friends was diagnosed with Breast Cancer when she was 11 weeks pregnant, I made a promise to her that I would donate my hair and then shave my head so we could grow our hair back together. I then started googling where to donate my hair, and came across “Wigs for Kids” and liked that the hair wasn’t sold overseas. 

Tash, ACT

My names Tash, I’m a 30 year old physio and Pilates instructor from the ACT. A few years ago out of the blue I ended up hospitalised with a serious illness, followed by being bedbound for a really long time. I went from treating patients to being the patient, and lost the active, outdoorsy life I once knew. During my tough days I decided if and when I recovered, I would help someone else in a similar situation. I just wasn’t exactly sure how! 

 In the last month I’ve been hitting major recovery milestones, including hiking my first mountain again! The other day a stranger complimented my hair (I had lots of it!) and a lightbulb went off. That afternoon I googled where I could donate it, and came across Wigs 4 Kids. I booked my haircut the next day and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous but I thought of the beautiful brave Aussie children battling cancer - that sorted my courage right out!! 

 Besides being insanely inspire by these kids, I am absolutely loving my new hair do, and am grateful for Wigs 4 Kids to allow me to share my hair, my love and my story to those who need it more than me 

Rylee WA,

Cut her hair to make a sick child feel a little more normal, as you can tell by her smile she loves it.

Grace, NSW

Henry NSW

Henry has been growing his hair for over four years and while super happy with his surfer look, he wanted a change.  When he learned about the option to donate his hair six months ago, he insisted on growing it until he had 20cm to give away. 

Kimberley, NSW

I’m from The United States and this will be my third hair donation!  I grow my hair out every four or five years and I donate it to an organization that makes wigs for children who need it :)

Matilda, VIC

Matilda was very nervous as this was her first ever haircut and we didn’t want her to feel uncomfortable. Matilda is 6 years old and the only way we could convince her to cut her hair was the fact that she was able to donate it for kids that were going through a hard time in their lives

Kane

Kane was in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) for 9 years. This meant shaving everyday & cutting his hair every 2 weeks so once he left the RAAF he decided, like many others do, to grow a beard & his hair. Kane left the RAAF about 4 years ago, so his hair had grown very long by that time. He decided to cut it but from the beginning he said he wanted to grow it to donate it. He decided on Wigs for Kids because every kid deserves to feel beautiful & have lovely hair so by donating his hair, he could help with that. 

Georgia

Lexi,

Lexie, is 10years old and this the second time she has donated. First being in 2021!

Emma, NSW

Emma decided to donate her hair after seeing her grandmother go through cancer treatment and loose her hair, and then get a wig. She thought that by cutting off her hair for donation then another child would be able to smile with some new hair when they needed it.

Matilda, NSW

She has always had long hair only gets a trim once maybe twice a year to keep it healthy. For a little while now the long hair has been annoying her when doing different things so she decided in the school holidays to get it cut to a shorter length. Over the past year or two we have had family and close friends of the family go through cancer and sadly are no longer with us. And now her Aunty (my sister in-law) has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and started Chemo today. 

So with seeing what they went through Matilda thought she doesn't want to see her hair go to waste but would like to see it help others. We did a search online to find an organisation that accepts hair donations and came across Kids with Cancer Foundation that got our attention. Matilda loves the idea of being able to help children that are going through a tough time. We also like that the hair will be used in wigs made locally.

Arlo,

Arlo is 5 years old and was so excited to cut her hair and send it away for another child to make them happy. 

She has already told me she wants to grow it again so she can make more wigs! 

Aleah & Millie, Vic

When the girls had discussed cutting their hair we had looked in to giving their hair to kids fighting the same disease that both Loki and Krissy had fought and they thought it was a great idea to be able to help even if it was in what seemed to be a little way. They've both always had beautiful longhair but they had no hesitations in growing it a little longer and giving it to wigs for kids.

They also wanted to raise funds for kids families to try and help ease the burden of the ongoing costs associated with treatments and have tried to raise some money along the way. Even through hard times, every little bit counts.

 They would like to thank those who have been kind enough to donate and thank you for reading their story. 

Alice,

Donating her beautiful long hair to make a difference!

Lilah, SA

I have recently cut my hair and decided to donate it to Kids with Cancer Foundation. Specifically, Wigs 4 Kids.

 Choosing to cut my long hair was a big change for me! I have only ever grown my hair and trimmed it, I never once thought I would cut and donate it. People would always say, “you’d look good with short hair” or “why don’t you cut it and donate it?” My response? “No! Never! I love my long hair”.

 Yet here I am. Finally making the decision to change my hair style, donate it, and hopefully make a change.

 Everyone, including myself, are very excited and proud of this next chapter in my life. I have only ever known my hair to be long, so I am in the clouds on the change.

 My hair does not make me who I am, so I am proud to give it to another who needs it. I hope my hair can make someone very happy.

Iris, Vic

I am the mother of a three-year-old girl from Melbourne, Victoria and recently had the opportunity to donate my hair to create wigs for children undergoing cancer treatment and their families. I believe that this gesture can make a meaningful impact on their lives during such a challenging time.

As a mother, I understand the importance of compassion and support, especially for young ones facing health battles. I am grateful for the chance to contribute in this way, and I am committed to sharing this experience with my daughter. By telling her this story, I hope to instil in her a sense of empathy and a willingness to extend a helping hand to others in need.

Thank you for providing this avenue to make a positive difference. I look forward to knowing that my hair will be used to bring smiles to the faces of these brave children and their families.

Reuben, SA

I cut my hair because it always got in the way of everything.  I play guitar in the morning but my hair always gets in the way of it.  When I change my clothes it always makes me feel uncomfortable.  

 My friend called Charlie also had long hair but donated it to charity.  I also wanted to donate my hair (which was 25cms long) to a charity called Wigs 4 Kids.  

Because everyone deserves hair, especially people with cancer. By Reuben.

Holly, NSW

I am so grateful to be in a position where I can donate my hair to a child in need. I hope it can put a smile on the face of a child going through a difficult time. I would strongly encourage anyone considering donating to take the leap, knowing the wonderful impact it can have

Chloe QLD

My story is not remarkable, but I am inspired by the remarkable nature of these brave children that every day face the unthinkable. I believe in small actions having a big impact and know that my locks will find a loving home and make someone smile. 

Tadhg, SA

After growing his hair for 2 years, Tadhg wanted to help a child in need of some hair! He doing so, he also raised nearly $2,000 to contribute financial support to families that have a child with cancer.  This family and friends have been very generous with their donations.

Amelia, 11, VIC

My name is Amelia and I am 11 years old.

Kirsty, QLD

I have had long hair since I was 17 years old. It is really curly and I always wore it up or braided. One day the daughter of a friend of mine posted a story saying that she had cut her beautiful red hair to donate to children with cancer. The hair would be used so that they could have wigs. I thought this was a beautiful thing for her to do. This young woman inspired me to do the same. 

I booked my appointment, extremely nervous, but very proud of myself to do something out of my comfort zone. As I was sitting there watching my 38cm plait being cut off all I could think of was a child would have a wig that would make them a little bit normal in a moment in time where their world was being turned up side down.

July  2023 will forever and always be embedded in my brain and heart, it was the month i knew I was diagnosed with breast cancer and blessed with my first child too .. My baby boy ..

Before going through the  chemotherapy treatment and as a result, lost my  hair  in time.I wanted to help with my hair which I love and cared  to go to other children faced with a cancer diagnosis. And instead of getting a hair cut and the hair going to waste and ending in the bin, I wanted it  be donated, in the hopes it can be used to go towards making a wig for a child and hopefully it will make them feel even more special than they already are.

I wanted to do something kind for someone else.

Chelsea, QLD

Chelsea has been growing her hair since prep and loves her long hair but wanted to grow it long enough to donate to kids with cancer.

Bridgette, VIC

I just wanted to donate my hair to someone who needs it more than I do.

Audrey, NSW

During the pandemic times, this lengthy hair was a great challenge. She needed to wash and dry her hair every time we’re out in public places (even if we go home late). Given this circumstance, her hair that time was just 15cm long and she wanted to have a haircut. But when reminded about the wigs for kids, she was willing to wait for a little more time because she was eager to donate her hair to those sick children. This is the longest hair she had grown so far and she did it intentionally for a cause.

Danielle, NSW

My reason why I donated hair for kids with cancer was because I have had family members who has passed away with cancer , I grew my hair for 2 years so it would become long enough for me to cut it and donate it . I have a soft spot for kids with cancer and I thought why not do something useful with my hair then to just cut it and let it go to waste .

Michelle

I have been told all my life how beautiful my hair is… and it made me think how sad some kids must be.. never even HAVING hair… much less felling good about it… I can always grow more…so I strongly feel that I should give my hair to those who can’t.

Karis, WA

“I had always thought about donating my hair and had deliberately not coloured it. While I was procrastinating, my hair was only getting longer. 

I was conscious of where my hair was going to and did a bit of research before coming across Wigs for Kids. 

I was only going to cut 30cm to begin with, but then I thought I will cut it as long as I can as I may never grow it this long again.  

I ran a fundraising quiz night and throughout the night I had my family and friends cut off each off the plaits. I then got the hairdresser to tidy it up the following day.”

Tori

I really hate needles so this is my way of giving back to someone in need. Growing up as a girl is already hard enough, doing it without hair from a horrible disease just wouldn’t be fair. 

Amelia, WA

Hi, my name is Amelia. I have been growing my hair since I was little and I am now 11 years old. I hope my hair goes to someone in need and brings them some joy.

I chopped and donated my hair to the charitable organisation ‘Wigs 4 Kids’ to support children facing cancer. I am a student Occupational Therapist and have worked with a range of children with varying physical and psychological conditions. I have a deep passion for helping at-risk youth and decided that hair donation is another way to empower children to continue enjoying life through increased sense of identity, esteem and confidence.

Morgan, NSW

I've been told by endless people that having red hair is rare, its a natural colour that is hard to recreate! With this in mind, I thought of the several children that are battling cancer and don't have the option of a wig to suit their natural colour. This is an opportunity I couldn't pass up, I want to make a difference in a child's life and provide them with the option to feel more confident! 

Aleah, QLD

I chose to donate my hair, because I see children who have no hair from cancer it makes me sad!, I hope I can make a child happier.

Rosie, NSW

I have always wanted to make a difference to someone’s life by donating hair. After looking after my hair and growing it the longest I have ever had it I made the decision to share it with someone. I found wig4kids..

Sophie, QLD

Ever since Sophie had hair people would comment on how beautiful the colour was.  Sophie always took pride in her hair and felt special when people made comments.   

Approximately two years ago she found out that people donate their hair to a child that was sick and lost their hair due to treatment.  Right then and there she decided she wanted to grow her hair so she could donate it.  Sophie wanted a give a little girl her hair so she could feel as beautiful as she did when people commented.   

We looked into how long it had to be and set the goal.  After two years of growing and looking after her hair it was long enough to donate.  When we registered for the donation we realised how expensive it was to make the wig and our family set out to raise some money to help cover this cost.  Our little community supported Sophie through donations, followed her journey and her school allowed her to do a speech on assembly encouraging other student to not only donate money, but their own hair.  

Sophie has already said she is growing her hair again so she can donate it again in another couple of years. 

Sriya, SA

"When I first decided to cut my hair, I was sad because I would chop off so much of it. But then I found that there are organisations that take this hair and donate to kids with cancer. I am so happy that not only do I get to try a new hairstyle, but I also give someone else the opportunity to try a new hairstyle too."
