Here are testimonials from the kids and their families about how the Maggie's Wigs 4 Kids of Michigan program has helped with a wig and support service (classes, social activities, counseling and field trips).

"On behalf of my daughter and our whole family, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude for your kindness, compassion, and generosity. Because of your amazing program beyond our wildest dreams, our daughter received a beautiful wig today that has already made such a meaningful difference in her confidence and spirit as she faces alopecia.

We are also so touched by the additional gifts you gave her-the dolls, pillows, and all the thoughtful surprises, along with the delicious cupcakes. Those extra touches made her feel so special and truly brightened her day/many more to come.

Please also extend our gratitude to the many sponsors and supporters who make this possible, even though we don't get to meet them personally. Their generosity and commitment to your mission have touched our family in ways we will always remember. 

This gift is far more than just hair-it represents hope, strength, and the reminder that she is not alone in this journey. We are incredibly grateful for the love and care your team pours into every detail, and for the smiles you bring to families like ours. 

Thank you for the incredible work you do for children and families across Michigan. We are truly blessed to have crossed paths with you."

Ryley's Story:

My name is Ryley, and I want to tell you my story. I will go over what trichotillomania is, the lasting effects of this disorder and how Maggie has helped me find my voice. Trichotillomania is a genetic disorder triggered by a life event. The affected person starts pulling their hair out and though they may very much want to stop, they find it hard to do so. I have been pulling my hair for about 7 years now. I pulled in middle school, all of high school, and now my second year of college. Trichotillomania will never fully go away but rather enter a remission state with therapeutic measures.

Going to Maggie's Wigs 4 Kids of Michigan has helped me in more ways than I can count, and I will forever be grateful for her, her staff, the volunteers, and donors. Maggie offers kids an assortment of opportunities along with providing wigs. These could be field trips, makeup classes, work out classes, nutrition classes, the use of VR headsets and so much more. I myself can say I have partaken in the makeup classes and the VR 4 Kids Program.

Overall, with everything Maggie has to offer and the information she has taught me, I have found ways to be confident and not ashamed. I hope the person reading this now has a better understanding of what trichotillomania is, how it causes lasting effects, and how Maggie has helped me find my voice through the opportunities presented.
