A ten-year-old girl who survived the Southport stabbing attack has told LBC she wants to raise money to support the air ambulance charity that saved her life.
Luna-Rose was one of eight children and three adults who were injured, along with three girls who were killed, in the attack last month on a Taylor Swift dance class in the Merseyside town.She was flown to hospital suffering severe blood loss, and was given several blood transfusions to keep her alive. She has undergone multiple surgeries since then.Luna said she wants to set up a charitable foundation to support the air ambulance charity that took her to hospital and the Ronald McDonald House .
"She's obviously having quite a lot of flashbacks and, as everyone, her imagination is running wild with 'what-ifs', what could have been, so counselling has been really important, and the support of the community. It's been unbelievable."Hannah said she was airlifted from the scene with Luna, with no money, no phone and no way of getting back to Southport."I was kind of stranded an hour's drive away from home, and they offered complete support," she said.
