Iʼve raised £450 to help the Wimbledon foodbank and Faith in Action Merton Homelessness Project
- London, United Kingdom
- Funded on Sunday, 14th May 2017
Don't have time to donate right now?
Story
Dear friends,
We are three friends & mummies who will be cutting and donating our hair to the Little Princess Trust (www.littleprincesses.org.uk). They provide real hair wigs for children suffering with hair loss. We will be donating most of our hair which will be between 25-40cm...possibly even a bit more.
Please keep an eye on our updates to see haircut before and after pics & news.
While we are doing this we would love to raise awareness and funding for our local food bank (wimbledon.foodbank.org.uk) and homelessness project (www.mertonfaithinaction.org).
We will start with a target of £250, but really hope to smash this and raise even more with your help!
Your kind donations will go towards buying food and other necessities (nappies, sanitary pads, underwear & bodywash, sleeping bags etc) for both the food bank and homelessness project.
The food bank provide emergency food parcels. The homelessness project provide food, shower facilities and a laundry service for those who have no access to these things that we often take for granted.
Thank you to Louise at Heaven Scent (www.heavenscenthairandbeauty.com) who kindly offered to be the one to cut our locks off. We are slightly nervous (about having super short hair), but happy to be helping a great cause!!
Any contribution would be so gratefully received! Every bit we can give makes a big difference to someone's life!
Much love and thanks from the bottom of our hearts,
♡♡♡ Christina, Alex & Nina ♡♡♡
