“Every little bit helps and we are so grateful for the donations,” said Iwona.
“It means so much to Mila and the children who benefit from this charity that people are supporting her effort.”
Mila, who lives in Bispham and is a pupil at Kincraig Primary School, said: “I really loved my long hair, but I wanted to share it with someone who needs it more. I hope it will make another child smile and feel happy again. “
