Rushden family 'massively' proud of daughter who selflessly helps the homeless on Christmas Eve

At just 10-years-old, this youngster gave up her Christmas Eve to help those less fortunate by supplying a homeless man with supplies and gifts.

Madison Howard of Denfield Park Primary School, Rushden selflessly gave her time at Christmas to re-wrap selection boxes and other food items to be given to a local homeless man.

Among the gifts were also two pillows and a sleeping bag, showing that Madison is aware of the challenges that homeless people face, especially during the cold winter months.

Scott Howard, Madison’s proud dad, told the Northants Telegraph: “She had nothing else on her mind on Christmas Eve other than going to visit a homeless person and give him gifts.”

Her mum Karen Howard added that ‘she’s been going on about it all year’ and ‘wanted to do it off her own back’.

And it seems like Madison’s charitable days aren’t over yet as she has plenty of ideas for future good deeds!
