Hi
I sit at home and read alot on here. It amazes me how much help we all get.
Last year just before Christmas I had my family go through their clothes and my son grabbed a heap of toys, bikes and skateboards he'd grown out of. We packed the car up and went to the local community centre where they also have emergency accommodation for people.
It was easy finding things even nice jewelry I'd brought online and never worn to donate.
This year though like most money is tight we are still going to do the same. People in our area give away free bikes etc either beside the road or on gumtree.
Knowing in some small way that come Christmas just a bit of a smile will be on a person' face leaves a happy feeling inside.
Even school shoes or runners my son grows out of can mean a parent struggling doesn't have to find the extra money and can ease the burden.
