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!

Farm Becomes Sanctuary for Animals After Tragedy

** Watch this OGTV "GOOD STORY" about a farm in Texas that was flooded during Hurricane Harvey. Somehow the animals found a way to survive and have inspired the owners to convert the farm into a rescue sanctuary. **

The impetus for the creation of the Ima Survivor Animal Sanctuary was the awful week in August 2017 when Hurricane Harvey meandered about southeast Texas unleashing biblical amounts of rain and wreaking havoc on the people and animals who lived there. The survival of a donkey named Ima Jean from 6 foot flood waters, her struggle to live and the fight to survive by her and the other animals from Lester Morrow's ranch is the inspiration for this unique habitat.

In this special place, Director Gretchen Baer's mission is to show kids that anything is possible if you think creatively, no matter who you are or where you came from.

Nonprofit Studio Mariposa is a free transformative art center for kids in Naco, Mexico, along the Arizona border. For the past three years, kids come to the small studio once a week where Gretchen and her volunteers set up art projects and music lessons. The art projects include painting, making bracelets, mosaics and weaving on a loom.
