ABERDEEN, Wash. (AP) — Eight-year-old Maizie Chapin wanted to give her grandmother something special this Christmas — a personal gift that could help Marion Chapin heal in her battle with cancer.

Maizie dreamed of making her own hair into a wig for her grandmother, who was losing her hair because of chemotherapy.

Cutting and saving the hair was the easy part. Finding and affording a specialty wig maker to make a wig from the long blonde strands was a more difficult.

Thanks to a Bellevue, Wash., wig maker, Marion Chapin has a full head of hair this Christmas, a gift she will treasure for the rest of her life.
