Les White was nominated for one of our Christmas hampers last time by his wife Carolyn because “he makes me laugh and feel treasured every day.”
The couple, who live on The Wirral, had been married or 28 years at the time of our first Christmas hamper campaign in 2022 – “the last seven years of which I have been too ill to do much.”
This Christmas we want to give away more hampers so our members have another chance to say a huge ‘thank you’ to the people who care for them the most.
A relative or dear friend could be your ‘unsung hero’ – the person who makes a huge difference to your life.
We’re asking you to nominate your hero for one of our super Christmas hampers.
There are three ways to make your nomination:
- Visit our website and fill in the nomination form there: https://meassociation.org.uk/frommetoyou2024
- Email your nomination to frommetoyou@meassociation.org.uk
- Telephone our office on 01280 818 963
Whatever way you choose, this is what we will need from you:
- Your full name
- Your nominee’s name, postal address, email and phone number
- Your relationship to your nominee
- The reasons why you are nominating them
Nominees will be selected randomly every week.
Please note that we might make the reasons for your nomination public but we will always ask you and your nominee for permission to do so first.
Les and Carolyn remembered the joy the gift brought them last time.
“Without his constant help I think I would have died as I didn’t know I was seriously anaemic on top of my ME. We don’t have anyone else we can rely on and Les has taken on all the shopping, cooking and household chores.”
“He is supportive even though I must cause him great frustration at times, especially when he has spent aged preparing a lovely meal that I then can’t eat.”
Les, obviously not used to being the centre of such attention, emailed us: “What a wonderful surprise. Totally unexpected. Makes me feel like I do matter.”
Please let us have your nomination as soon as possible and, in any event, no later than Monday 23rd December 2024.
Could you be one of our Secret Santas this year?
A generous donor has paid for the first 100 hampers, but over 250 were requested last time round. So we are also offering you the opportunity to become a Secret Santa this year.
If you are able, please help us spread some joy through our community by giving us a donation here:
