So, for at least 6 months, if not more, I have been thinking about what I want to do, but 1 thing or another, Miss Iz being ill, I was too busy, etc, something got in the way of sorting it all out.
About a month ago I decided to get my finger out and sort it out.
I set up my just giving page, and away I went!
My decision on what I wanted to do came about in many ways. I heard about the Little Princess Trust and how they make wigs for children who have lost their hair. I thought what they do is amazing! I can't imagine how it must feel for someone so small to lose their hair. Little girls want to be princesses, so to lose your beautiful locks must be horrifying! I decided I wanted to help. My hair was getting longer, & where better for it to go. You can read more about them on their website, check link below. Maybe you could donate too!
The second part was easier. CLAPA have played a big part in our lives since at my 20 week scan my baby girl was diagnosed with cleft lip & palette. (You can read more about my pregnancy with Miss Iz on my other blog post).
CLAPA have been amazing & supported us as a family greatly. They will continue to support us & Miss Iz as she grows, and for that we cannot thank them enough. So for me, they were my obvious choice for donations. You can read more about CLAPA on the link below.
I went onto a local mums group on Facebook. There's so many lovely ladies on there, I hoped someone would be able to help. The amazing & truely inspiring Sam Louise offered her services to cut my hair for free!!! Fantastic!!
We were ready to roll. I sorted childcare for Miss Iz, & a date was booked! Today, Friday 7th November would be it!
I posted about my justgiving page on Facebook, & around work! Donations came in & I couldn't be more grateful! People are so very kind.
I woke this morning a little nervous & thinking 'what am I doing'! But that soon passed. The lovely Sam made me feel so at ease & I trusted her completely!
