Ever since a close friend was diagnosed with cancer, I’ve become very sensitive to the experiences of those who are dealing with hair loss. The physical and emotional effects caused by a major illness are very high, not to mention the financial aspect. Those who can afford it have access to wigs, scarves and other head wraps that can help them maintain their dignity. But what about women in dire financial need that are struggling all alone?

Wrapunzel is trying to help. Initially started as a blog for women who head-covered for religious reasons, it developed a strong following, and an online store was added, creating a unique place where women could find information, support, and supplies. Since then, they have continued to grow and are now the Wrapunzel Foundation—a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to helping women in need find their inner strength and beauty through the art of head-wrapping.

With their FundRazr campaign, donations are being raised to provide 2 special services:

Joy Kits: For $36, you can provide a little joy in the mail for two ladies. The kits contain head-wrapping supplies and tutorials, skin-soothing lotion, and other fun goodies that lift the spirit.

Spa Event: For $180, you can provide a spa event for 10 ladies! This service is provided by an expert Wrapunzel wrapper who will host free classes for women at cancer treatment centers in the U.S. and abroad.

If you want to help, but can’t afford to make a donation, help by spreading the word on your blog, social media, etc. There are also volunteer positions available.

Cancer is a horrible disease; it robs its victims of so much! The least we can do is provide a lady with a pretty head cover that helps to maintain her dignity as she fights to regain her health.
