ROSIE Hellicar is passionate about Koha Community Cafe.
Even if her mum says she is a fussy eater!
The Millgrove 10-year-old with purple party hair has put her locks on the line to raise money for the community cafe where she is a regular volunteer.
In her own words, this is why.
“Koha Community Cafe is a place where everyone is welcomed to come and enjoy friendly company and good food,” she wrote in her launch pitch on the fundraising site GoFundMe.
“The food is so yummy and delicious! And friendly for kids!”
At Koha, customers make a donation, depending on what they can afford, or what they believe their meal is worth.
“Koha is not-for-profit and we need Koha to stay alive so that the community can get together and everyone has the opportunity for a nice meal,” Rosie wrote.
Rosie is keeping with the Koha philosophy in her request for people to donate to her My Brave Shave fundraiser.
“Please donate what you can afford, or what you think my hair is worth,” she wrote.
On Friday, Rosie’s tally was standing at $660 of the $2000 she hopes to raise.
To donate, go to www.gofundme.com/rosiesbraveshave.
Any amount will help.
Rosie’s Brave Shave will be held at the Koha Community Cafe adjacent to the Yarra Junction Football Ground at 7pm on Thursday 25 June.
