A ten-year-old girl in Hella, a small town in southern Iceland, is selling bracelets to raise money for her mother, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. The bracelets are part of a campaign with Kraft, an Icelandic organisation supporting young people diagnosed with cancer, according to Dagskráin (DFS).
The bracelets, labelled ‘Lífið er núna’ (Life is now), are being sold locally in Hella to raise money for her mother and to support cancer patients. Kraft provides support to young people who have been diagnosed with cancer.
