Local siblings Chrsitian, Matthew, and Zoe helped bring the magic of Christmas to sick children at Northern Health.

The budding philanthropists donated toys to the Northern Health Foundation, to distribute to kids who will be spending the festive season in hospital this year.

Christian, Matthew and Zoe saved their allowances and birthday money to purchase the toys for the children.

The kids mother Helen Fagnani said the donation was inspired by the conversations the family had at home about those in hospital who would have to be away from their own families over Christmas.

“It’s great for the kids to be thinking about what they have and not taking it for granted,” she said.

“It’s always good to give back to the community – I’m so proud of them.”

Ms Fagnani said she hopes they can turn the good deed into an annual family tradition.
