🙏🏼 One Michigan Woman's Fight for Kids With Cancer
from Total Michigan
Twenty-three years ago, a teenager asked Maggie Varney a question nobody could answer: What do you do when you're a kid, and you need a wig? That question became Maggie's Wigs 4 Kids, a Michigan nonprofit that has now helped over 6,000 children fighting cancer, completely free of charge. This episode goes beyond hair loss into what it really means for a child to feel like themselves again, and the community in St. Clair Shores that made it possible. Listen in for a story of heart and grit, and find out how you can support Maggie's mission.In this episode, we cover:The real story behind Maggie's Wigs 4 Kids, and the simple question that started it allWhy losing your hair to cancer costs a child far more than appearance, and what it does to a kid's sense of identityHow one Michigan woman built a completely free program that's helped over 6,000 kids in 23 yearsThe story of the community, churches, schools, and civic groups that rallied around her before anyone knew her nameHow to get involved, donate, or attend the August 12th gala supporting Wigs 4 KidsLinks: Maggie's Kids for Wigs Website: https://www.wigs4kids.orgSubscribe to our Email Newsletter: https://totalmichigan.com/join/Find us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/totalmichiganWatch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@totalmichigan
