Hello everyone, my name is Anthony. I’m originally from the UK but moved to Colombia with my family two years ago. Since being here, we’ve been involved each Christmas with a local neighbourhood where many families live with very little. Despite their difficult circumstances, these children always greet us with huge smiles and an incredible amount of joy — but sadly, their parents are not in a position to treat them at Christmas, and for many of them, Santa simply doesn’t visit.

For the past two years, we’ve taken part by providing small gifts to the children, and it has been truly unforgettable. This year, however, the community has grown, and we now hope to reach around 180 children. It’s a bigger challenge — but also a beautiful opportunity to make a real difference.

This fundraiser is simply an idea to see if anyone else would like to get involved and help us bring a little bit of magic to their Christmas. Every donation, large or small, goes directly toward buying gifts here in Colombia, which we will personally hand out on the 23rd and 24th of December.

Transparency

Funds will be received in my UK account (as required by GoFundMe for UK-based fundraisers) and then transferred to Colombia, where we will purchase the gifts locally to support the children and the community.

What Your Help Means

Your support will help us provide:

• A small Christmas gift for each child

• A special moment they will remember

• A reminder that they are seen, valued, and not forgotten

These children live in incredibly humble conditions but make the most of life with what they have. Bringing them something special at Christmas truly means the world to them.

If this calls to you, and you’d like to help us spread a little Christmas joy, we would be incredibly grateful.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for any support you can give.

kindest regards,

Anthony
