Story
For many years I have wanted to volunteer and help the homeless around Christmas. You may ask why now? And why around Christmas? Well, having a child and working away from Coventry, there has been limitation in time. I feel Christmas is the time to be around family, for the homeless they are alone...very alone. So I thought what would cheer them up? And the answer for me is that they're not forgotten. With this money I will be making backpacks, with a warm blanket, thermal socks, hats, a scarf. Thinking of other things as well. Any donation will be appreciated. x

Thanks everyone I have reached my target of £300, thanks to everyone's support. Please keep donating, as the more you give the more I can buy for the homeless. Any goods donations would be good too...please pass to Paul.(no one else as they are not reaching us).
