Helle -Thank you so much for your contribution and kindness. Indeed, if we all join in a little bit, we can make a huge difference to someone somewhere. We will be posting the fruits of all our labors in the next day or two so everyone can see what happens when a community comes together. Dare I say it gives me hope for 2022 that maybe, just maybe, we can all be a bit kinder to one another?On that front, I want to thank a few who have often been seen as opponents publicly yet demonstrate something else privately. First, thanks to Ed Saper and his team (I'm talking to you Shereen) at Pai Skincare for their extraordinary contribution and effort. Clearly it wasn't the work of one or two people and on behalf of West London Welcome and the kids and families we say thank you. I promise you I have left everything intact despite the temptation to bring a few things home. Second, thanks to Bridget Osborne and The Chiswick Calendar for helping to bring awareness to this effort. The pile wouldn't be as big as it is without Bridget's promotion.And for those who have been on our side all along, to Juliet and Nicki at mylittleboarders.com for reaching out to the mothers in our midst. It would seem Momma Bears Unite. And yes its still wrapped and no, I'm not doing ollies in front of the shop. And to Ray Elias for his unending support at all times. This would not have been the success it is without his help. My apologies to anyone who crossed his path during this gift drive as he simply will not take no for an answer. I hope no one was hurt during the making of this episode.Thank you, also, to Helen at West London Welcome for letting us contribute. It has made our Christmas this year. Per Helle's request, anyone wishing to contribute to the organization may do so here: www.westlondonwelcome.com and they may be found on Twitter @wlondonwelcomeAll the best to everyone for a Merry Christmas and Happy and Healthy 2022.
