A schoolgirl bullying victim who went bald due to relentless abuse will get “life-changing” hair loss treatment after an anonymous donor gave her £4,000.
Bonnie Pullan, 10, began losing her locks three years ago after classmates at her primary school reduced her to tears every single day. Doctors later diagnosed the girl with alopecia, a sometimes-permanent hair loss disease, which was brought on by the stress of her daily school experiences.
Bonnie's mum Wendy, 38, managed to halt the constant harassment but Bonnie's hair failed to grow back due to her ongoing issues with anxiety. Wendy then campaigned to raise the £5,000 that Bonnie needed for a prosthetic hairpiece, which she said would help to get her “confidence back”.
