Lilly gets a wig.. make that two wigs ...June 8,2009
It winds up that Locks of Love only gives wigs to kids and grown ups who are in financial need. There are a ton of forms you have to fill out and even if you can pay they will not sell you a wig. I understand all of this but feel bad for those kids that live in places that may not have access to a good wig maker or wig store.Lilly's counselor Karen recommends Lucy's Wigs in Manalapan,N.J..Lucy is really nice and we order Lilly a beautiful real hair wig the exact color of her own. It was really expensive over 900.00 but I didnt have the heart to say no so we ordered it. We also got Lilly a cute 1/2 hair piece made out of synthetic hair that goes under a hat. It looked adorable and Lilly loved it.You can see in the pictures how cute it looks! I know Lilly will live in this style but I got both anyway.I also got her these fleece chemo caps to sleep in. Lilly loves them because they are comfy and not to hot. I know she will miss her real hair but this will really help.
I did find a man who owns a business called WIGS FOR KIDS and he will give ANY child a wig based on medical causes with just a form from your childs doctor. You can find him on the web at wigsforkids.com.
