‘A little girl with a very big heart’ GEORGIA, 6, ONLY WANTS TO GIVE TO THOSE IN NEED THIS CHRISTMAS

Their response was fantastic, and little Georgia’s grin was as big as her box of goodies when she presented them to volunteers at Huddersfield Methodist Mission.

Sammi, of Salendine Nook, said: “I don’t think she realises just how much of an impact she’s made.

“She was asked what she wanted for Christmas and reminded to get a list together quickly to get it off to the North Pole.

“And she replied: ‘I don’t want anything. I got lots of toys for my birthday and I don’t need anything else.’

“We were gobsmacked by this response from such a small girl. She melted our hearts.”

Sammi believes Georgia got the idea to help those less fortunate than herself during a recent family trip to London.

She said: “We stayed in quite a povertystricken area and there was a park with a lady sat there feeding the birds with all her bags around her.

“Just a few yards away from her was a man lying on the grass verge.

“Georgia asked if we could go in and we explained that it was not the kind of park where you can play.

“She said: ‘What about that man?’ and I explained that some people didn’t have homes, they ended up sleeping rough and this was quite sad.

“I think that preyed on her mind and had quite an impact on her.

“She’s a little girl with a very big heart and has always been quite empathetic and sensitive to other people’s needs.”

Then during a car journey home, Georgia Six-year-old Georgia Roberts - with sister Sienna and brother Marshall - presents food she has collected to Huddersfield Methodist Mission manager Paul Bridges and Mission cafe manager Jackie Turnpenney asked if she could buy food for people sleeping in town because they didn’t have a happy home like her own.

The sweet-toothed youngster asked: “Can I buy some Starbursts, chocolates and crisps to them who have no house?

“They won’t have anything on Christmas Day because Santa hasn’t got a key to get into their house or a chimney to climb down because they don’t have a house to live in.”

Sammi, who also has 11-year-old son Marshall and daughter Sienna, eight, wrote to Georgia’s school to ask help and the food donations were soon pouring in.

Their donation was gratefully received by volunteers at the Mission Cafe who plan to put it to good use during a Christmas buffet.

Sammi said Georgia wants to do it again next year, adding: “I’m ever so proud.”
