Mum Sarah said the six-year-old Year One student got the idea after her Nanna went through breast cancer treatment a couple of years ago.
“Mum lost her hair from the chemotherapy and then wore a wig, so we think that’s where Savannah got the concept,” she said.
“I work at the Children’s Hospital at Westmead and she would often ask me about the sick children I look after and then recently declared that she would like to donate her hair to help make a wig for one of them going through chemo.”
Savannah heard back from the wigmakers saying her donation was enough to fund and create an entire new wig for a sick child.
“She was just so happy and excited saying ‘I miss my long hair mum but I’m happy it’s helping people’,” Sarah said.
