Sarah's little dream became a reality just in time for Christmas
Sarah Swift, of Swifts Butchers, Wakefield, held a Christmas appeal to gather 200 gifts, but collected a total of 415 presents, which will now be distributed to Pinderfields, Pontefract and Dewsbury hospitals.
Sarah said: “I am absolutely overwhelmed, my little dream became a huge reality.

“I was told that there are a large number of elderly patients who will be spending Christmas on their own and might not get any gifts or visitors.
“Christmas can be a very lonely time, so my mission is to put a smile on their faces.
“The thought of people not getting anything at Christmas breaks my heart.

The Swifts have been collecting donations of small items since November.
The gifts were delivered to Pinderfields Hopital on Monday, December 10.
