dolls with banknote Queen faces

A mother in England was left in hysterics after discovering her child had cut up real banknotes of pound sterling so she could stick Queen Elizabeth's face onto her dolls. The mother, Victoria Ingham, had gone upstairs at her residence to check on her 4-year-old daughter only to find out that she was giving a makeover to her dolls by sticking Queen's face from the currency notes on them.

Posting images on Facebook that went viral, Victoria explained how she did not know 'whether to laugh or cry' about the situation. When she approached her daughter's play zone on the other floor, the mother found her kid surrounded by the remains of £20 and £5 banknotes, both of which were missing the Queen's face.

Interestingly, upon reading the post, many people offered to send Victoria the money, Ladbible stated. After seeing the offers flood in, Victoria's friend set up a www.gofundme.com page. So far, £235 has been raised, all of which will be donated to the children's ward at The James Cook University Hospital in Middlesborough.
