Dear Sir,
My six year old Daughter, Evie-Mae Wood, recently had her hair cut so she could donate it to the Little Princess Trust to be made into a wig for a young girl with cancer. Our hairdresser cut her hair free of charge. As a reward her Great Nana Park gave her £5.00 to spend on sweets. However, Evie-Mae wanted to buy some nappies to donate to Supporting Families, I then posted this on my Facebook page and family and friends also donated, she also sold some old toys and used that to buy more items such as baby wipes, nappy sacks, shampoos, creams, etc.
Three weeks later she had raised nearly £200 and has donated 150 new essential baby items to Supporting Families including packs of nappies, wipes, shampoos, etc.
We will carry on for as long as possible and for as long as we receive donations. We understand that a lot of families are struggling in these even harder times at the moment and I have always taught Evie to share and always be kind, so she is really happy with how much she’s managed to donate, thanks to friends and family for giving her all this money.
The Supporting Families team would like to say a huge thank you to Evie Wood, age 6, from Darlington, who raised some money recently by getting her hair cut and decided to use the money she raised to help the babies whose mummies and daddies don’t have much money to get the things babies need.
She gave us nappies, baby wipes, baby bath, baby shampoo, talcum powder, baby lotion, baby massage oil, nappy cream, cotton buds, nappy bags and cotton wool balls.
What a lovely thing for a young girl to do and to think of others less fortunate than herself.
Thank you so much Evie and her parents.
The Supporting Families Team
Sheena, Yvonne, Liz, Rachel, and Bob.
