Eight-year-old Grace, was inspired by mum, Kirsty who was part of the Action Squad that put on a fundraising ball for the charity in October which raised £14,000.
Picking the presents herself from the Works branch in Llanelli, Grace then helped deliver them to the delighted Action for Children Family Support Service in the town.
‘I wanted to do something myself after hearing about my mum’s fundraising for Action for Children,” said Grace.
“I like the thought of helping families in Carmarthenshire and made bracelets to sell locally to buy them Christmas presents. I raised more than I thought I would, I’m really pleased.’
‘I’m so proud of Grace,” added Mum Kirsty.
“She’s so caring and just has a lovely heart. She heard what we were doing with the ball and was determined to do something too.
“There’s not been a backward step as Grace has made and sold the bracelets, picked the presents and helped us take them to Llanelli. She’s an inspiration to us all, it’s been an amazing effort.’
Sue Marsden, Practice Team leader at Action for Children’s Carmarthenshire family support services, who took delivery of the presents said:
“We are so grateful to Grace for her kindness and generosity.
“The families were delighted and commented on how thoughtful the present choices were reflecting the care and knowledge Grace put into her shopping trip.
“Too many of our families won’t be able to buy Christmas presents this year so this will make a huge difference to families who need it most. We’re overwhelmed by her efforts, she really is Amazing Grace.”
