Thank you so much for my presents! They were really cool, and I cannot wait to show them to my new friends at school. Thank you for making Christmas feel a bit more normal.

It really is the most wonderful initiative. The joy this brings our families at SWS refuge is immeasurable. Some families come to us with nothing and the added pressure of trying to provide gifts for their children at Christmas can be overwhelming. It really isn’t the size of the gift it is the feeling someone has thought about them when they are often missing family and friends because they have been moved to a safe area. Many thanks Smile Sleigh for your awesome work

I just wanted to say a huge heartfelt thanks to you for all the incredible gifts and toys for the children, it’s just incredible and I feel so warm and fuzzy, actually teary about it. You and your wonderful team have been such a lifeline to the children and I. Lots of love to you all xxxx

My child feels so special because it’s her first time receiving this kind of gifts, and not just one but more than that. She was very happy opening all her presents. She loved all of it, thank you

With the voucher from you I got him an Alexa speaker clock and some trump cards. He was speechless and kept saying where’s my mum gone? Before I didn’t like things that listen in, that a perpetrator could use to record or spy on me, but I said to him this is your new mum that was always there before. Please pass on how very grateful I was for the vouchers and how much of a difference and happiness they made.

Christmas at the refuge was truly special, thanks to the kindness and generosity of donors like you. Your support not only brought joy to the adults but also smiles to the faces of all children here. The refuge was filled with warmth, laughter and a sense of community that made Christmas special and memorable for everyone.
