Raise much needed funds. Become a Hair Hero. Show you care.

Every donation, whether funds or hair, helps raise vital funds for Variety's Hair with Heart program.

For children experiencing medical hair loss, a wig can be so much more than hair. It can be comfort, confidence, choice, and feeling like themselves again.

By joining Hair with Heart, you’re helping kids build confidence and have the freedom to feel like themselves.

"Hair is such a big part of how we express ourselves and how we feel when we look in the mirror, especially when we’re young. The thought of a child already going through something difficult medically, and then having to navigate losing their hair and not feeling like themselves, really stayed with me.

As a mum, and having seen friends go through childhood cancer, I felt a very personal connection to Hair with Heart. 

At Mermade, so much of what we do is about hair, confidence and helping people feel good about themselves. Being able to use that platform to help give children experiencing medical hair loss some of that confidence back felt like such a natural and meaningful partnership for us.

If we can help more kids feel like themselves again, that is something we are incredibly proud to be part of."

You can help a child like Hallie

At five years old and just about to start kindergarten, Hallie was diagnosed with alopecia. A funny and outgoing girl, Hallie would often cry, asking why she was the only one in her family affected. She hated the feeling of being stared at. Determined to let Hallie lead her own journey, her family chose not to shave her head, respecting her wish to hold onto the hair she had left.

Hallie knew she wanted a wig before starting school. Finding Variety’s Hair with Heart and wig grant program changed everything. Now eight, Hallie has just been granted her second custom-made wig, which allows her to run, jump, and cartwheel just like any other active kid.

Will you help give a life-changing wig to another child like Hallie?
