Maggie's Magnificent Hair Donation

$1,160 donated
Given by 29 generous donors in 6 weeks

5 year old Maggie is donating her hair to be made into a wig, offering others the gift of courage, confidence, and dignity.

Bay of Plenty

If you know Maggie, you’ll know her for her radiant smile—and her glorious locks that would make even Rapunzel envious. This summer marks a special milestone: Maggie is having her very first haircut.

Even at just five years old, Maggie has shown incredible thoughtfulness. We've had meaningful conversations about how her hair could be used to help another child or young person who is seriously unwell. With a generous heart, she’s decided to donate her beautiful hair to be made into a wig, offering someone else the gift of courage, confidence, and dignity during a difficult time.

As a Kiwi/British family, living in Malaysia, we’ll be in the UK this July/August. While we're there, we’ll donate Maggie’s hair to the Little Princess Trust, a well-known charity that provides real-hair wigs to children and young people who have lost their hair through illness. There’s no cost to have the hair turned into a wig, but it does cost the charity around £700 to create one. We’d love to help cover that cost with a donation in Maggie’s name.

If you feel able to support her, any contribution—big or small—would be so appreciated. And if now isn’t the right time financially, we completely understand. Even a few kind words of encouragement would mean the world to Maggie as she takes this brave and selfless step.

We’re incredibly proud of her choice to show kindness in such a meaningful way. Thank you for being part of this moment, and for helping us nurture Maggie’s compassion through acts like this.

Rachel Roberts' involvement (page creator)

This is a registered charity in the UK. Maggie is half Kiwi and half British, and seeing as we are visiting family this summer, the hair donation will take place there. To make a donation in her name, we need to do a one-off payment.

Use of funds

Whatever money is raised will go straight to the Little Princess Trust (charity) in the UK to help make a wig with the hair that Maggie will be donating.
