When a child is diagnosed with cancer, it affects the whole family emotionally, socially, psychologically - and financially. 60% of families caring for a child with cancer had one parent stop working or cut back in hours worked to ensure they receive treatment. A large majority of families experience significant insurance obstacles as well. We're fortunate at Maggie's Wigs 4 Kids of Michigan to work with organizations who help with the financial impact of cancer - see our resources page for support! https://www.wigs4kids.org/our-services/resources.html
