Wigs 4 Kids would like to send a special thanks to Cooper from Boise, ID who made a goal to donate his hair in support of kids in need. Cooper is 11 years old and it took about 2 years for him to grow his hair out before he was ready to donate. Cooper’s donation was very meaningful for his family, as his grandmother passed away from cancer and he chose to donate it in her memory. This is a beautiful way for our hair donors to honor the legacies of their loved ones and we are grateful for Cooper’s heartfelt gift.
