The Need
For many families, a high-quality cranial prosthesis can be financially out of reach, particularly while they are already facing the expenses and emotional strain associated with medical treatment.
NQCG exists to help bridge that gap by ensuring that women and little girls experiencing hair loss have access to a quality cranial prosthesis, compassionate support, and the opportunity to feel confident and beautiful throughout their journey.
Because no woman or little girl should have to choose between the cost of her medical care and the dignity of feeling like herself.
Partnerships and Community Connections
We welcome opportunities to connect and collaborate with oncologists, social workers, patient navigators, hospitals, healthcare providers, nonprofit organizations, and other community partners. Through these relationships, we can strengthen referral pathways, expand access to resources, and help ensure that individuals and families receive compassionate, well-rounded support.
Our vision extends beyond providing no-cost cranial prostheses (medical-grade wigs/units). We want to help connect the women, girls, and families we serve with trusted resources that can support them before, during, and after their journey—from the time of diagnosis and treatment through recovery and the transition into life beyond treatment.
By working together, we can create a stronger circle of care—one that restores confidence, provides resources, encourages healing, and reminds every woman and little girl that she does not have to walk this journey alone. Interested in partnering with NQCG? We welcome organizations, healthcare professionals, community partners, and resource providers who would like to collaborate, establish referral relationships, or become part of our growing network of support.
Our Program
Our services are designed to make each recipient feel supported throughout the entire process. From the initial consultation and individual measurements to selecting, fitting, customizing, and delivering the cranial prosthesis, we provide a private and dignified experience tailored to each person’s individual needs.
Our commitment extends beyond providing hair. We recognize that hair loss can affect confidence, identity, emotional well-being, and a person’s sense of self. Through compassionate support, education, resources, referrals, and community partnerships, our program seeks to remind every woman and little girl we serve that she is seen, supported, and not alone in her journey.
Where sisters don’t have to fight alone.
I'm in love with my hair! Going through chemo really took a toll on me. Losing :my hair was heartbreaking, but Neubian's Queen helped me feel beautiful and confident again. The quality, comfort, and natural look of my hair exceeded my expectations. I am so grateful for the care and support I received"
