Disney Princess Wigs Made From Yarn Help Young Cancer Patients Feel Magical

A little yarn and love are enough to make some kids feel magical! Holly Christensen, a former cancer nurse, started out making Disney princess wigs for her own children. When she heard about a friend's child having cancer she got an idea.

"Last fall one of my friends from nursing school, I found out their daughter was diagnosed with cancer," she told KTVA news. "I knew having been a cancer nurse what she was about to go through."

Seeing how much her kids loved their wigs, she sent a special Rapunzel wig to her friend's daughter to cheer her up.

"It's so precious," Christensen said. "She's stroking her Rapunzel hair and she's just like, 'Pretty soon my hair is going to grow back and I'm going to have real Rapunzel hair.'"

Word got out and the demand for these wigs are growing. Christensen started 'The Magic Yarn Project.' To fill all the requests a GoFundMe page was set up to help cover the costs of yarn. Volunteers around the country are also helping to take on some of Christensen’s workload. Workshops are set up where people can come help.

Recipients do not have to pay for the wigs... it's just a gift to help them feel better. Donations fund the supplies and shipping costs. Christensen hopes to set up a 501c3 and team up with Make A Wish!

Meet Netta Jenkins! - Netta, D.I. (E1)

** OGTV celebrates MLK Day with this inspiring story of a young woman addressing Diversity and Inclusion in the workplace. **

"Every single person feels a sense of exclusion throughout their life."

Even as a kid, this observation struck Netta Jenkins as a universal truth. As the newly elected president of her freshman class in Johnston High School in Rhode Island, she knew she had found a core emotional theme that any student could relate to. Netta then rallied students and teachers to discuss and address their feelings of exclusion, and together they were able to make meaningful changes in the day to day life at their school.

Young Inventor Helps Kids Find Comfort in Hospitals

** To commemorate Kid Inventors Day, OGTV is sharing this story about a young girl who redirected her fear from a hospital stay into the creation of a device that makes these visits a little less scary for other kids in the same situation. **

The only good part of a hospital stay is the end of it – the moment you go through the doors and know you are heading home. As stressful as this can be for an adult, it is exponentially worse for a young child. Ella Casano was one of those kids suddenly plucked out of normal life by an unpronounceable diagnosis and thrust into a daily routine of painful treatment, fear-stricken parents and the prospect of long periods away from home. Though she was really scared, she saw her situation from a kid's "how do I beat this" perspective and envisioned something that could make the experience just a little bit easier for herself and others like her.

Autistic Basketball Champ Teaches Kids Hope With Hoops

How would you feel if a team of medical specialists reviewed your background and declared, at the age of 5, that because you had Autism, you would never be successful academically, that you would likely not graduate from high school much less go to college, and that being an athlete was out of the question. Anthony Ianni faced that future and just flat out refused to accept it – he ignored what the doctors said, set goals, worked hard, and created his own destiny.
