Our VR 4 Kids Program Pilot at Maggie's Wigs 4 Kids of Michigan, Inc continues! We gather helpful feedback, videos and photos of our wig recipients enjoying & benefiting from this immersive technology which is shared with our partners through VRforHealth. They not only make this technology accessible, they also utilize our children's valuable insights to improve their VR offerings!
Special thanks to LittleSeed CEO Jeff Penka and Abigail Ayers who have worked tirelessly for months iterating their researched-backed, under-12 VR solution called Voyager! Mighty Maddox, one of our amazing wig recipients who bravely fights brain cancer has benefited from Voyager's interactive meditations & games.
