Story
My name is Isabel and I am 10 years old. I have long golden blonde hair and on the 18th Feb this is all going to change! I am having my hair cut off not only to donate to 'Little Princess Trust' who provide free real hair wigs for children suffering with hair loss but I also want to raise money for ' The Medway Street Angels/Winter Warmers' who help provide food, basic essentials, ongoing support and financial assistance for the homeless in Medway.
I was recently in London with my family when I came across a homeless man and his dog in a doorway. I bought him some biscuits and gave them to him and I felt quite upset about it, I didn't understand why people live like that.
I've recently decided that I wanted to have a Pixie style hair cut which is quite short so my mum suggested that I get sponsored to do it and I immediately wanted to raise money for the homeless, especially after my visit to London. Also knowing that my hair is going to make a difference to another child's life makes me happy. I have lots of support from my friends and family and would really love the support of the public to as I am really nervous about having it cut!
Thank you for reading my story!
