Hi, my name is Roisin and before anything else, I’m a mum.

And last Christmas was one of the hardest Christmases of our lives.

I tried to make it magical for my kids, but behind the smiles and decorations was a Christmas full of fear, stress, and heartbreak.

The kind of Christmas you never forget.

The kind that leaves a mark.

Many of you watched that chapter unfold… but this isn’t about me.

This is about turning our pain into purpose, and our sadness into kindness for children who might be hurting too.

This year, as we were putting up the decorations, my daughter looked at me and said:

“Mummy… do you remember last Christmas?”

And then, in her wee voice:

“Could we help kids who might be sad this Christmas feel happier?”

And that was it.

The whole reason this began.

The spark that came from a child who felt last year deeper than she should have, and still chose kindness.

I used my own business stock to create teen Christmas bundles, and for every £5 donated I’ve been tripling it — because teenagers are the ones who get forgotten the most, and I couldn’t let that happen.

But my stock doesn’t include anything for boys, and I’m now running out of what I have left. A lot of people who have already donated have asked if we can help the boys too and the answer is 100% yes.

I thought maybe we could help a few.

But then something unbelievable happened.

This community showed up.

And together, we’ve now helped over 900 children who might have woken up to nothing.

But the need is still huge and my own stock is running low.

So here’s how we keep going, and how your donation helps:

Every £1 will help for the kids that’s always overlooked.

• using the last of my own stock

• buying items directly from brands at cost (please reach out to me on Instagram) roisindohertyblog

• asking brands to double or triple the value (I will do want ever it takes to push businesses online that help us out)

• donating everything through Cash for Kids – Mission Christmas

Teenage boys especially are often overlooked, so we’re making sure they’re included too with gifts they will actually use.

For some of these kids, the gift we put in their hands will be the only gift they open this Christmas.

The only moment they feel chosen.

The only moment they feel seen.

If you can spare anything even £1 you’re helping us reach more children and families.

You’re helping me honour my daughter’s wish.

You’re helping us turn last year’s pain into this year’s kindness.

You’re helping us make sure no child is forgotten.

From my family, from My Daughters little heart, and from every child this will reach

Thank you.

Let’s keep going.

Let’s help as many as we can.

Please do not donate if you can’t afford to. A share will help reach people who may be able to.
