Why "A Smile for Christmas"?
In December 2022, the world was grappling with the height of the cost of living crisis. It was a challenging time for so many, and the festive season, a time usually filled with joy, was overshadowed by uncertainty for countless families.
That year, I made a life-changing decision. Instead of taking my annual trip to Ghana to visit my family, I stayed back and poured my heart into helping those who needed it most.
I wanted to do more than just acknowledge the struggles around me, I wanted to make a tangible difference. And so, A Smile for Christmas was born, a commitment to creating smiles every Christmas, for as long as I could.
But how long can I keep forgoing my trip to see my family back home in Ghana? That’s where the magic of community comes in.
Last Year’s Journey
Last year, in an effort to raise funds for A Smile for Christmas, I hosted a Battalion fundraising event, cooking an authentic Ghanaian buffet to bring people together in the spirit of giving. With every bite, every donation, and every act of kindness, we created smiles together—reaching those with disabilities, singleparent families, urban communities, and streetconnected children.
