We have made tremendous progress with our VR 4 Kids Program Pilot at Maggie's Wigs 4 Kids of Michigan, Inc this year thanks to the mentorship of VRforHealth and our VR partners. This last month, we celebrated the milestone of over 100+ moments when wig recipients reached for VR when they struggled emotionally & psychologically - finding relief, distraction, moments of awe and joy as they journey through their health challenge. We thank everyone who has helped with the success of this important programming!
