No Matter How Short, Every Life Has A Purpose.

Our granddaughter Niesha was a loving, kind, and very compassionate, beautiful girl. She delighted in the simple pleasures of life, like spending time with her family, her three best friends, and her cat, Nakita. She enjoyed arts and crafts, playing card games, and eating pizza. Music was a big part of her. She loved people and people loved her. Many often told us “We love having a visit with Niesha, it is like a breath of fresh air”. She was our little self-appointed peacekeeper.

In the autumn of 2018, at age 15, Niesha was faced with the grim diagnosis of a rare, terminal cancer at Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, ON. She passed away 13 months later after a battle “bravely fought”. In the wake of our family’s devastating loss, the ‘Niesh Hair-Scarf Wig’ was conceived and born as an antidote to grief, in the hope that it would help other women and girls coping with hair loss due to cancer treatment. Such a gift would have helped Niesha. And she would have loved leaving such a legacy. Putting a smile on someone’s face who is going through unimaginable trials is our way of honouring Niesha.

Our Purpose

The beauty of this project is that it is designed to be self-sustainable. The ‘Niesh Hair-Scarf Wig’ is not for balding women only; it is a beautiful, comfortable, and fashionable accessory that women of all races and all ages will love and enjoy. Our “Buy a Hair-Scarf Wig, Give Hope” concept, where you purchase one for yourself and donate the other, ensures the long-term viability of the program. It's a beautiful partnership.

We helplessly watched our beloved Niesha go through unimaginable pain and suffering. She tried hard to brave every treatment and endured all the other painful side effects that came with the cancer treatment, including losing her hair. “O” how she cried for her hair, reminding us of the statement we have all heard before: “Hair is a woman’s pride”. Finding a comfortable hairpiece should never be another daunting task anyone fighting cancer has to face.

Our hope is to donate The ‘Niesh Hair-Scarf Wig’ to every woman and girl fighting cancer who needs and desires it. Lightening the spirits of someone who is going through such trials and tribulations is exactly what The ‘Niesh Hair-Scarf Wig’ is designed to do. Niesha would have loved that.

Buy The Niesh Hair-Scarf Wig, Give Hope.

To sustain the project, we have adopted the “Buy One, Give One” policy. Every ‘Niesh Hair-Scarf Wig’ we sell enables us to donate one to a cancer patient.

All wigs and scarves donated to us used or new, will be used to create The ‘Niesh Hair-Scarf Wigs’ that we, in turn, donate to cancer patients in treatment on the purchaser’s behalf. Wig rooms that donate wigs and scarves to Niesh’s World have the option to have all The ‘Niesh Hair-Scarf Wigs' we make from the materials they donate sent back to them to serve their communities.
