Little girls in white dresses and boys with rosettes should have been excitedly filling churches across the country this weekend. 

But Covid-19 has unfortunately cancelled communions for the foreseeable. 

Eight-year-old Siofra Duggan from Carrigaline in Co. Cork is one such disappointed child, but joins the show to tell us how she's generously decided to make the best of the situation.

If you would like to support Siofra’s fundraiser, you can donate at: gofundme.com/f/siofras-hair-donation
