A 4-year-old girl in Cornwall, England, has begun to collect Christmas presents for children in need after she had a bad dream about kids having no presents to open on Christmas morning.
Pippa Jackson has set a goal of 200 packages for children who otherwise would go without during the holiday season.
The 4-year-old is making the presents herself, which include various goodies such as hats, scarves, and coloring pencils.
Pippa’s mother, Kadie Jackson, is helping her with the project.
She said, “Pippa is currently making Christmas parcels, by receiving donations, and next week we will be making decorations as well.” [The decorations] are to sell, and all the money that she raises will go towards buying presents for deprived children.”
The care packages will also be separated into age groups and boys and girls.
Jackson confirmed that her daughter was encouraged to start the project after having “a dream that some children wouldn’t be able to open presents on Christmas Day and she wanted to help.”
They plan to help around 200 people who are in women’s shelters, orphanages and anywhere they find children in need.
And speaking of Christmas gifts for children, Operation Christmas Child is up and running for another year. One feature is a custom webpage for your church, group, or event in order to track your progress toward a shoebox goal. Once you’re set up, you’ll receive a unique page link to share by email or on social media.
