Young Siblings Raise €700 for Puttinu by Donating Their Birthday Gifts

Oct 12 2024 Share

In a heartwarming display of generosity, local charity Puttinu Cares have revealed that young siblings Giulia and Nicholas Xerri made their birthdays truly special this year by choosing to give back to those in need.

Instead of asking for the usual presents, six-year-old Giulia and her four-year-old brother Nicholas asked family and friends to contribute money towards a cause close to their hearts—Puttinu Cares, the Maltese charity that supports families facing cancer.

Their inspiring act of kindness, coupled with the generosity of their loved ones, resulted in a remarkable €700 donation to Puttinu. This noble gesture by the young siblings not only demonstrates their selflessness but also sets a powerful example of compassion and giving at such a young age.

Well done to Giulia and Nicholas for their kind-hearted initiative, showing that no one is too young to make a positive difference in the world.
