Christmas Gifts for the Children's Hospital
Christmas Gifts for the Children's Hospital

Story: Safiya Saeed

Two weeks before Christmas Asha and Chloe had an idea. They wanted to do something wonderful all by themselves, but how would they do it?

So they met up with Mr. Westerdale, Head Teacher at Parkwood Academy, and Ms Smith (deputy head). They fully supported the two young ladies, both in year 9.

With baking and sponsorship they managed to raise £170. With that money they bought presents for all the kids at the Children's Hospital.

£35 was left over which they donated directly to the hospital.

It was Christmas Eve when they dropped in to deliver their presents.

Asha said

“I don't celebrate Christmas but I love to be a reason to make them smile.”

Chloe said

“These children are going through so much pain we just wanted to put a smile on their faces.
