A mother in Doncaster has set up an appeal for parents struggling to buy their children presents for Christmas.
Care home assistant KT Littleford has been using her own time, money and petrol to deliver gifts to parents struggling with the cost of living crisis.
Ms Littleford, 46, has always wanted to create an appeal like this and feels now is the perfect time.
She said: “This year more than ever with the cost of living families are just struggling so much more.
“I’ve been there myself in the past where you really can’t afford presents and it is quite a big stress on parents.”
More than 20 families have already received support, with hopes the final number will rise to over 30, and Her Just Giving Page has raised £155 of its £250 goal.
Ms Littleford said she could not have done it without the help of her friend, Nicci Bentley, and the kind donations from the community.
She says other parents in particular have responded well to the appeal with those who can afford to giving what they can.
Local business owner, Tracey Duncan, discovered the appeal from a friend’s Facebook post. She has donated a number of handmade stockings.
Mrs Duncan, 49, was excited to help due to the local feel of the project. She said: “It’s just one mum trying to help another mum and it’s snowballed.
“You don’t need to spend a lot of money to give someone a lovely gift.”
To donate any cash or presents please message Kt Littleford on Facebook or visit the Just Giving Page.
