My dearest, dearest friend Angela Roper has saved up all year through Parks for £700 in love2shop vouchers to fund her Christmas shopping.

Her plan was to buy a lovely new TV for her 7yr old son Gabriel, along with other bits n bobs to go with it and gifts for her nieces, nephews and relatives. Sadly, when she went to retrieve the vouchers from their hiding place, she was horrified to find they were not there!

She has pulled her house to pieces, over and over, hunting high and low in the hope she had simply misplaced them, but the hiding place was such that they could not have been lost and coming to terms with the realisation that someone very close to her has stolen her little boy's Christmas has been very difficult.

We now know who has done this to her and we know it was an unprovoked, malicious attack intending to cause as much emotional distress as possible. Unfortunately we are unable to prove anything and the vouchers can not be cancelled or replaced so the whole amount is completely lost.

She doesn't know I am doing this as I am hoping to restore faith in humanity with this lovely surprise!!

Ange and Gabriel have had more heartache over the last few years than anyone should have to deal with in a life time and while I can't take away the feeling of betrayal, I hope to salvage a little of their Christmas by raising some money towards what's they've lost. The target has been set at £200 as I can't seem to get it set lower, but in all honesty, even the smallest amount raised towards Gabriel's new TV would be so greatly, greatly appreciated!

I have updated the main pic with a photo of Ange, but as she doesn't know about this, I can't check how she feels about sharing Gabriel's image so I will not be adding a pic of him, but take it from me, he's one awesomely cool lil dude!!!!

Just £1 would mean the world!!

Thank you x
