A father-of-two from Leeds turned into a real-life Santa by buying £10,470 worth of Christmas presents for children.
Reese Fletcher (30) said that this could only have been possible because 800 ornaments for wooden Christmas trees were sold.
His staff at Fletcher’s Fencing, Decking and Garden Maintenance made the trees during their off days in November.
Reese Fletcher from Leeds turned into a real-life Santa by buying £10,470 worth of gifts thanks to his gardening firms’ sales.
Mr Fletcher and his staff at Fletcher’s Fencing, Decking and Garden Maintenance filled 22 trollies with £8,000 worth of toys and £2,000 on bikes for charities.
On Christmas Day, they will hand out gifts to children in greatest need.
He told MailOnline he gave the gift of giving this Christmas as ‘it’s nice to be nice’.
His two children, Lola (11 years) and Isla (seven years), would have nothing at Christmas.
He said, “My children never go without,” “It is nice to be of assistance. “I’m just a good guy, I suppose.
After being inspired by an inspiring video about underprivileged children, he was also inspired to take action.
Originally, he was going to give £50 but came up with a cunning plan after seeing all the wood just lying there in his fencing and gardening yard.
After his success with the wooden Christmas tree, Mr Fletcher promises to be even more successful next year.
The 30-year-old says he will be ‘even more mentally’ next year.
The piles of wood were then used to create Christmas trees.
He stated, “I wasn’t certain I’d make anything from it.”
He sold the last of his 800 trees last week, which along with donations raised £10,740 for presents.
The staff and him then filled 22 trollies with £8,000 worth of toys and spent £2,000 on bikes for charities.
The presents will be distributed by Mr Fletcher on Christmas day.
Next year, the 30-year old promises that he’ll be “even more mental”
He stated, “It’ll be even larger with a couple celebrities,” “I don’t know who you are yet. It’s best to save that for next year.
