Young boy asks for charity donation for Christmas.

a young boy dressed in a shirt, bow tie, suspenders and a trilby hat holding an old fashioned corded phone to his ear.

“At bedtime I always make sure my son speaks to his grandparents on FaceTime so he talks to them at least once every day.

My mother asked him on the phone what he wanted for Christmas, and he told her he had everything he wanted so didn’t know what to ask for. Then he told her ‘Take the money you would spend on me for Christmas and give it to charity.’

He’s 11. That blew me away and it made my mother cry.”

What a beautiful example of the kindness of children. Thank you to the anonymous parent who sent this wonderful story in to us.
