A Dartford man is giving his Marilyn Monroe memorabilia and £500 each month to a Slade Green seven-year-old battling brain cancer.

Danny Lee, 25, has spent a decade collecting photos, mugs and general artefacts dedicated to the 1950s screen goddess, believed to be worth around £15,000.

The collection now fills an entire room and will help seven-year-old Frankie Rose Lea’s treatment.

News Shopper revealed last month how the Haberdashers’ Aske’s pupil was diagnosed with a brain tumour in August and the cancer has now spread to her spine.

She is currently in Oklahoma City with her parents receiving lifesaving treatment after a public appeal raised around £180,000 in under a week.

Mr Lee, an investor, of Lowfield Street, Dartford, told News Shopper he was moved to hear of Frankie Rose’s story. 

News Shopper:

He said: I don’t like to think of anyone suffering and I know a lot of people are going through grief.

"I first started collecting Marilyn Monroe stuff  because she had a lot of suffering in her life. 

"There’s a little girl suffering and I couldn’t bear to think of that. I love helping people."

Mr Lee, who has lived in Dartford for the last two years, said: "What is pictured is only a part of my collection. I’ve got a whole room dedicated to it.

"I’ve been collecting it for 10 years but I’m too old for it now.

"I’m going to give them the memorabilia so they can do what they want with it - it’s worth about £15,000. 

"I’m also going to donate £500 a month to her to help her, I’d love her to go to Disneyland."

News Shopper:

Frankie Rose's parents spoke to News Shopper from America about how touched they were.

Her mum Michelle, 36, said: "I was shocked, I couldn’t believe it. I think it’s lovely, it’s just a lovely gesture.   

"It’s a weird and wonderful offer.

"I had Marilyn’s pictures up on my wall when I was a kid."

Dad Sam, 34, runs his own garden centre: "I didn’t know what to say, it’s an unusual one. 

"It’s a lovely offer and they just keep coming in."
