Welcome to Strong Like Me

Strong Like Me is a non-profit organization dedicated to donating 100% premium human hair wigs to teenagers who are beginning chemotherapy. We aspire to make this transition as positive and comfortable as possible.

Our goal is to help those affected by cancer to feel like their strong and confident selves on their road to recovery.

A new or recurring cancer diagnosis can be particularly difficult for teenagers at a life stage where they are forming their own identities, largely influenced by how they see themselves and how they are perceived by others. Changes in physical appearance can also be a constant reminder of their illness.

At a time where teenagers are starting to work towards independence, being sick can result in feelings of hopelessness, vulnerability, and a lack of control. Coupled with social media highlighting missed opportunities and promoting perfection, this can have a significant impact on mental health, self-esteem and resilience for many.

We want to empower teenagers beginning chemotherapy by helping them maintain a sense of normalcy, and helping them feel strong and confident as they focus on fighting and beating cancer. We aspire to make the road to recovery as positive and comfortable as possible.
