Miss Serenity is five years old and was diagnosed with Leukemia.  Her mom reached out and picked out this adorable wig and a pink turban!! In every photo she takes she is always smiling and is full of life!! 

"One of the hardest parts about having cancer for me is looking different from other women. Sadly, being bald is the look of every cancer patient. I don’t want to look like I have cancer. I want to still look beautiful and alive.

Through a friend, I learned of Donna Beattie Foundation Non Profit Organization. They are a dream come true for anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer and have lost their hair. I was very happy when I thought that I was just going to be the gift recipient of a new hat, but I was elated to also be a gift recipient of a new wig of my choice.

Being able to wear a wig that fits my face and my style is very important to my self-esteem and it makes me confident enough to go out amongst  my peers.

Thank you, Donna Beattie Foundation for this priceless gift!"

“We all go through this cancer journey in different ways an it is a difficult path. I am fortunate enough to have family and friends who support me in this. But recently I had a complete stranger step up and help me in ways I never expected. For the past 10 months I’ve been battling TNBC stage 3. My kids have watched their once very active super mom become sicker and sicker. My oldest son got married on October 26th an I didn’t want him to have to also see his mom so sick on his important day. I had friends help me find the perfect dress. Set up makeup appointments an everything else I needed for the day. But I was missing something for my head. I don’t have enough hair growth to not wear anything especially for a wedding. We searched and searched for something to match. Things were either sold out, wrong colors or couldn’t get to me in time. Paige went above and beyond anything I’ve ever seen anyone do for someone they didn’t know. She helped me search through websites. She offered wigs , hats, scarves etc ..  all for free and as you all know none of this is cheap.  In the end I decided on head covers. She overnighted 3 different head covers over the course of a couple weeks until we found the perfect one. Btw I represented us all the day of my sons wedding and wore pink ! Even at the “11th hour” we didn’t think my head cover was going to come in time but it did 24 hours before the wedding because Paige made sure to express it straight to me. There are many organizations out there that “claim” to help BC patients but I can tell you from experience that isn’t always the case. Paige and Donna Beattie Foundation is and organization that truely goes the extra mile to help women like us. Paige thank you from my heart for helping me make this a memorable day for my son. And thank you for all you do for every single woman like me ❤️“

"Elena was diagnosed May 2019 with leukemia at 4 years old. We found Donna Beattie Foundation on Instagram and reached out. Elena loved her long, curly blonde hair before chemo treatments and now thanks to the generosity of Donna Beattie Foundation she has an adorable pink turban and unicorn head wrap to wear!"

During a time when I, as a cancer patient and undergoing chemotherapy, loose parts of my self, it’s a saving grace to be blessed with the care of Paige Beattie, Donna Beattie Foundation. I’m so grateful to Paige and her amazing organization for taking the time and care to guide me and assure me in the process of finding a wig that I would feel fabulous in. As if that weren’t enough, to have that gifted to me during this time when I have so many medical bills is a blessing on top of a blessing. Thank you!!

Cancer changes you.  It can change and sculpt your mindset of how to approach life and who should be in it with you.  When everything seems to be moving into the right places, you are then having to take a detour because the road gets bumpy.  Hi my name is Christal and I am 38 years old.   On October 8, 2019,  I was diagnosed with a form of breast cancer called invasive ductal carcinoma.   In November 2019, I had a bilateral mastectomy and in January to March 2020, I received chemotherapy treatment (adriamycin and cyclophosphamide).  Chemo has been the most challenging thing I have ever endured in my life--not only on my body but I had lost every strand of hair on day 13 of treatment. Finding headwear has been tough and  I am so blessed and honored to have found Donna Beattie Foundation!  Having lost all of my hair to chemo, my self esteem has been low because of my bald head.

Paige has been very helpful and helped me gain my confidence again. She helped me find a beautiful hat and wig and I am so happy to have found an organization that cares so much and provides assistance.  I am forever grateful for such a kind hearted organization.  The stuff we cancer patients go through is already tough and when an angel comes along to help you, it just makes life easier to cope.  Thank you again Donna Beattie Foundation!
