Advocacy

“Even though I love being bald, not everyone is confident and comfortable and they prefer to wear wigs. Because wigs are very expensive and many families can’t afford them, I want to help by advocating for wigs to be covered by insurance. I want to use my voice for other children and adults so, they can be confident and smile like me.”

Action Needed!

Ask your congressional representative and senators to co-sponsor H.R. 4034 and S. 1922, new legislation in the House and Senate respectively which redesignates wigs as durable medical equipment eligible for Medicare coverage.

More information on how to contact your US Representative and Senator directly is coming soon!
