    Story

    AN eight-year-old boy fears Santa Claus will not be able to find him this Christmas after he was made homeless.

    Marcel and his mum Sarah were moved into a hotel room by Cardiff City Council after they were evicted from their rented flat.

    The widowed mother remembered her son asking: "How is Santa going to find me if we are homeless?"

    No kid should ever say that," she told the BBC.

    "He shouldn't have to worry about Christmas or whether he's going to get presents or not."

    Marcel, who has learning difficulties, does not understand why he no longer has his own bedroom.

    "I am grateful for this room but, obviously, I don't want to stay here a long time," she said.

    Around the double bed shared by the mother and son, their belongings can be seen piled up the shelves and spread across the small accommodation.

    Sarah explained Marcel isn't able to sleep that much as he wakes up scared many nights due to the noise in the hotel.

    I do not know Sarah or Marcel. But after reading the story in the sun and watching the Heartbreaking video posted by BBC Wales. I would like to help. I have been fundraising since 2011 and have helped many people who I have never met

    You don’t have to know someone to want to make their situation better

    All proceeds from this page will be given to Sarah and marcel to use for either suitable rented accommodation where they dont have to share a bed. Or it will be used for Marcel to enjoy Christmas and meet santa. As he feels like santa wont be able to find him. Now that he is in a hotel room

    If the page hits its target I will travel to wales to hand the proceeds to them personally

    Let’s help then change their situation and help Little marcel have a good Christmas

    Thank you for reading 💙

      What is crowdfunding?

      Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered charity.

      The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.

      Great people make things happen

      Do you know anyone in need or maybe want to help a local community cause?

      Create you own page and donʼt let that cause go unfunded!
