Stylist Martino Cartier puts together sweet strands of love for young cancer patient Sweet strands of love for cancer patientfacebook email Martino Cartier with Kiki Fox, a cancer patient who got a much needed wig from his foundation Friends Are By Your Side. (Pearl Gabel for New York Daily News)KIARAH (KIKI) Fox used to beg her mother to let her stay home from school.

Most of the time, it wasn't the pain from her chemotherapy treatments that prompted the 11 year old kidney cancer patient's requests it was embarrassment caused by her ill fitting wig.

"It was new, but made for an adult, and it didn't fit Kiki right," her mother, Terri Fox, recalled of love bracelet screw fake the wig that Kiki's sister picked up at a garage sale.

"It wasn't real hair, and those are very itchy and hot," Fox added. "Kids in school would stare, and it's very important in middle school copy cartier new love bracelet to fit in."

This Mother's Day will be an especially happy one for Terri Fox because Kiki now has a beautiful, brunette pageboy wig thanks to a nonprofit initiative founded by professional stylist Martino Cartier.

Kiki's wig even has a pink extension to match the coat of her pink dyed poodle, Buttercup.

Cartier who you may have seen displaying his talents on "The View" formed Friends Are By Your Side after learning about the tremendous expense and maddening delays chemotherapy patients often encounter as they search for a fashionable way to cover the outward sign of their inner pain.

"I thought there was something wrong with that," Cartier said of the plight of Kiki and so many others.

"New York has the most salons of any state, and I'm asking stylists and salons to commit to providing free natural wigs to chemo patients who come to them and ask for help and within hours," said Cartier, whose nonprofit has helped 200 people since it started a year ago.

"Three hundred salons across the country, including Oscar Blandi and the Cactus salons in New York, have committed to asking their clients to donate even just a dollar each time they get a cut or color," he said.

And a wigmaker, Hotheads Hair Extensions, has pledged to overnight any style to any salon, he added.

Terri Fox described the painful dead ends she experienced as she tried to get Kiki a wig after her diagnosis three years ago.

She contacted Locks of eternal love bracelet replica Love, a nonprofit that has provided hairpieces to 3,000 children since 1997.

"They wanted so much financial documentation. They said my husband probably made too much money, but we were separated, and I had left work to care for Kiki," Fox said.

"When somebody gets cancer, the bills are crazy: the co pays, the unreimbursed medical, the transportation to the hospital. Wigs are very expensive I was told from $500 to $1,500 and we couldn't afford that."

Locks of Love spokeswoman Lauren Kukkamaa said the nonprofit requires a parent's recent tax return. "We are a charity for financially disadvantaged children," she said.

Fox's insurance company was no help, either. " 'Why bother?' " Fox said, recalling what one insensitive worker at the insurer advised. " 'It'll take you three or four months to get reimbursed, and her hair will start growing back by then.' "

For Michelle Peranio, a breast cancer patient who was also helped by Cartier's organization, her initial experience was equally frustrating.
