For some of us, Christmas is about being around family and being in front of the warm fire watching Christmas movie after Christmas movie. For others, this can be just another lonely time and with songs like "Do They Know It's Christmas" really show the struggle some people go through and to me that's extremely heart-breaking.
I recently went into my local Tesco Extra and the local Foodbank were asking for donations to make sure that families are having enough to eat. It really made me think just how precious life can be and how I take so much for granted. I have a roof over my head, food in my belly every day, running hot water whenever I needed it and clean water to drink. Some people barely have warm clothes and wear the same rags every single day of the week and to know this breaks my heart.
One of my resolutions for the new year which will be happening every year, is that I will donate food to my local Foodbank and Night Shelters. I would love for you to do the same for the less-fortunate in your area and if you see a homeless person on the street, giving as little as £1 will go so far for them or give them some food, they will really thank you for it. A simple "Have a nice day" will also bring happiness to their world.
Remember everyone has a battle to fight, and just by showing them that the world isn't as dull as they think, will make the world more amazing. Please be that person. Just think, if you were homeless, you'd want someone to help you.
Spread the love this Christmas.
