Overview
A five-year-old girl named Maisie from Oswestry has raised more than £300 for the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Hospital in Gobowen by making and selling necklaces, bracelets, and her own toys. Maisie, who receives treatment at the hospital for hearing difficulties and whose father is also treated there, wanted to cheer up young patients.
