My boyfriend recently nearly became homeless the council couldn’t do anything for him he is now safe back at his mum and dads this Christmas. After these circumstances its definitely opened my eyes to people suffering with homelessness. I don’t have much money myself but doing this good deed for someone this Christmas to have a nice hot Christmas dinner in their bellys will help me sleep better. To who ever this meal is going to I hope you thoroughly enjoy it and merry Christmas. All my love Frankie xx

Hello beautiful people. I wouldn’t know how to write a letter such as this due to homelessness being such a complex and misunderstood problem. If I could give some advice I learned while recovering from addiction I hope it will be of use to you all going into the next year. This advice has been all encompassing on my journey through recovery and I hope it does the same for you all… “Instead of running from your problems, chase your goals.” What this means is instead of thinking about how rough the current situation is and trying to escape it, it is more important to imagine the life you want (which is the life you deserve) and run towards that, because it is much easier to run towards a goal than to run away from a problem. I would also like to say you are all amazing, beautiful, complex beings who deserve love, comfort and happy lives. Please remember that. I hope this time of year brings you joy and peace and judging by the photos on here the roast looks like they are made with love, so I hope the scran brings you some light and happiness too. I pray for you all to have a much better year full of good opportunities and progress, no matter how slow. MARRRYYY CHRISTMASS, SENDING BIG LOVEEE X

Hello, Merry Christmas to whoever is reading this. I’m sure whoever you are, you are a very special person and deserve the most! My name’s Anna and I’m a 20-year-old Essex girly, with ginger hair—well, I like to say auburn actually, haha. Oh, and I’m 5'7"—just thought I’d put that in so you have a rough idea of who’s writing this, aha. But I just wanted to say Merry Christmas to you, and I hope you are having a lovely day and enjoying your yummy roast dinner. I’ll be eating it as well and thinking of you! But I’m going to go now, but once again Merry Christmas to you. P.S. My beloved Nan used to say, “nothing ever stays the same.” Lots of love, Anna xxxx
