Helping kids feel beautiful

Inside and out

One of the first questions that kids with cancer ask is, “Will I lose my hair?” Zichron Menachem collects hair from donors around the world to make much-needed wigs for children who have lost their hair during treatment.

Your generosity helps make these children feel like themselves again. We have made thousands of wigs for children and young adults who are fitted by our wig specialists, custom made for their specific needs.

“I was sad without my beautiful hair. Some kids thought I was a boy. One kid told me he had never seen a bald girl and that insulted me. I love to wear my hair in plaits or in a ponytail. I love to feel… normal!”
