“I have not seen any mention thanking her for all the hard work and time she put into these projects. I would also like to thank her sponsors and the many members of the public who took a wish from the Christmas Tree at Mugg and Bean and provided for a gift.

“Thank you all, your generosity and kindness has made me proud to know Maria and be a Kemptonian. Maria, you are indeed an angel to those who had their wishes granted and had a super Christmas lunch with your gifts from Santa. Thank you once again.”
