Fondation DonEspoir Cancer / CanDonate Hair Foundation

Malheureusement, les enfants atteints d’un cancer n’ont trop souvent pas les moyens de s’offrir ces prothèses capillaires. Le Programme DonEspoir Cancer fournit ainsi une aide essentielle à ces enfants à travers ces différents partenariats au Québec.

Fondé il y a plus de 10 ans, le Programme DonEspoir Cancer élargi dorénavant son implication sociale pour également soutenir les femmes et hommes Québécois qui ont perdu leurs cheveux suite à un cancer. Pour le lancement de ce nouveau programme, intitulé “Don de soi” et qui sera incorporé au Gala annuel, une présentation du parcours émotionnel de 10 femmes Québécoises atteintes d’un cancer sera mise de l’avant.

Each year, too many people are diagnosed with cancer. Battling this disease means dealing with harsh side effects, such as hair-loss and other debilitating consequences that greatly affect them and their families. Since 2005, the CanDonate Hair Program has been helping to restore the confidence and selfimage of children residing in Quebec, who suffer from cancer, by donating free natural hair wigs.

Unfortunately the costs for these hair prosthetics are too often impossible for children with cancer to cover on their own. The CanDonate Hair Program provides a much needed resource for young cancer patients struggling with a very difficult challenge. For over 10 years, the foundation has given hundreds of free wigs to children with cancer through its various partnerships.

Now in its 10th year, the CanDonate Hair Program expands its efforts to now help women and men across the province of Québec. To realize this goal, the Foundation is organizing an event called “A Part of Me” that will be incorporated in the Annual Gala. To demonstrate the importance of giving natural wigs to someone diagnosed with cancer, we will showcase the emotional journey of 10 women / children diagnosed with cancer. 

The Gala will aim to raise funds to strengthen our support to children and adults, residing in Québec, who have lost their hair due to chemotherapy. By funding our Gala, you will contribute in helping every person who requires our help.
