"She came up with the idea to have a raffle over Christmas and sold tickets to family and friends, her aim was to raise £50 but she reached £100.
"I’m so proud of her, she is such a kind-hearted little girl."
Elodie is pictured presenting the cheque to Teresa, who runs the charity, and her seven-year-old sister Ellise Wood who helped with the grand draw on Christmas Day.
