Strands of Strength funds free wigs for cancer patients in need
As if a diagnosis of cancer isn't devastating enough, the heartbreak when told "you may lose your hair" can be the rotten cherry on top."Some clients say the loss of their hair is the worst part," said Nicole Gerdin, coordinator of the Eastern Iowa branch of Strands of Strength, a not-for-profit that provides free wigs for women who've lost their hair because of cancer treatment."It's another hurdle," she said."You're already not feeling well and then looking in the mirror, you see someone you might not recognize." In an effort to create some normalcy for cancer patients, as well as ease the strain on their budgets from piling medical bills, Strands of Strength offers qualifying patients free wigs to "disguise hair loss, decrease feelings of vulnerability and provide greater self-esteem," hopefully resulting in greater strength to "successfully battle the disease," their mission statement reads.
