Story
Too many people in this country unfortunately go without so why not makesure everyone has something this Christmas?
My mum has terminal cancer... She is living on borrowed time, and her one wish is to makesure nobody goes cold and hungry this Christmas. It's so easy to get wrapped up (pardon the pun) in the materialism of Christmas when there are so many people who have nothing.
We are going to be making up Christmas hampers for the homeless including toiletries and food. Hopefully we will be able to buy tents and sleeping bags as well. We will be hand delivering them on the 21st December.
Not everyone has a warm home to go to and we aren't going to stand by and let anyone else lose their lives during these cold winter months. So please help possibly save someone's life and let them know that people do care.
In order to raise money my mum is going to shave her hair. I will video it and upload it on the 12th December. So we are hoping to get enough raised by then. I know there's not a lot of time but I'm trying to make my mums Christmas wish come true so any help will be much appreciated.
