Weʼre raising £25,000 to provide every Primary School child identified with a toy and a gift box to unwrap on Christmas Day.
Blackpool Football Club is aiming to provide presents for children in Blackpool.
"The initial objective of the campaign aims to address a startling statistic that shows at least 700-800 children of Primary School age in the town will wake up on Christmas Day without a present to open.
With your backing, we are looking to raise money to provide every Primary School child identified with a toy and a gift box to unwrap on Christmas Day." — Fundraiser organizers

Hopefully I can make enough , I have a few dollars saved up , and I just need enough for rent , food , transportation and other essentials." — Nani
Christian's Cancer Fight
Raising money to support Christian's medical treatment during his fight against cancer.
"This will greatly help alleviate the financial burden resulting from us recently moving to a new city and not having much of a savings fund yet as well as the follow up appointments we will be needing in the next few months. If you cannot donate, please share to reach others that may, if you are religious please keep us in your prayers. If you've made it this far we appreciate your generosity and we hope to have the chance to pay it forward one day." — Fundraiser organiser
