Spotswood resident Danni Taynton is well on her way to making the Christmas dreams of 250 children come true.
One of her long time goals has been to give back to the charity who helped her husband when he was a child.
Operation Stitches encourages and supports disadvantaged kids in the inner city. Now that Danni and her husband Luke are in a position to give back, they are on a mission.
“Operation Stitches is hosting a Christmas event in December, at which there will be 250 kids,” Ms Taynton said.
“My husband and I are going to be volunteering there and hopefully handing out all the presents.”
So far Ms Taynton has purchased 70 toys, now she wants the community to help make the rest possible by December 1.
“We are accepting anything new and in a box for chidren between the ages of five and nine. I think all kids deserve to open something brand new.“
Ms Taynton said she is happy to travel far and wide to pick up any donations, or have them dropped off to her.
“I will drive across Melbourne if I have to.”
