    This is Campbell, 12-year-old who loves crafts and making things

    When he was 9, he asked his parents if they could buy Christmas presents for kids in hospital

    When his parents told him it would cost too much, he decided to make them himself

    He has taught himself to sew and started a “Project 365 by Campbell”

    It’s a mission Campbell has set to himself to have 365 gifts made by him to take to hospitals, charities and distribution points by Christmas to give to children

    He decided that he would make 1 present a day which is 365 a year and give them all away.

    His first gift projects were rattle balls for little children, then he taught himself how to make teddies and that’s his favourite thing to make now

    Here he is with the nurses at the hospital

    HOORAY for Campbell Remess. And kudos to your parents for raising a boy with a heart of gold. **As a person who works with cancer patients I can factually tell you that your gifts are appreciated by BOTH the kids and their parents.

    Thank you all so much for reading this story! And thank you SO MUCH MORE if you donated to this amazing child! I assumed that this would be brushed off, ignored even for more "popular" trends and what not. Yet you've all chosen to read Campbell's story! Who am I to even say anything, I'm simply a reporter, but perhaps together, we and Campbell could make this world a better place, step by step. One plushy at a time.
