It’s tough enough to have to undergo chemotherapy and lose all of your hair as an adult. But imagine having to go through all of that as a child?
The idea for Holly Christensen’s The Magic Yarn Project came to her when the 3-year-old daughter of one of her friends got diagnosed with lymphoma. She soon decided to make a yarn wig for her.
The 31-year-old former oncology nurse and mother of three, now helps many other little girls with cancer to feel like the princesses that they are.
She tells babble.com, “I knew she would be going through a difficult time, and that no one would be able to take her suffering away. I also knew that losing her long, curly blonde hair at not even 3 years old would be difficult for her, so I figured that the yarn wig could help bring a little magic and fun to a difficult time in her life.”
Take a look at some of her magical creations below.
