Mr. A and his spouse run an arts entrance exam academy and first connected with the local daycare center through this. In the past, a daycare center student registered at Mr. A's academy with government support. At that time, the daycare center director visited the academy with the children to pay the tuition and show them around. Seeing the children dressed lightly despite the cold winter, Mr. A and his spouse felt heartbroken and decided to donate.


Mr. A said, "We are Christians, but instead of donating to the church, we save money for a year and use it for meaningful causes. Previously, even after saving diligently for a year, it was tight to buy blankets for elderly living alone or snacks for daycare children."


He added, "Thankfully, this year our work went well, so we were able to purchase down padded jackets to keep the daycare children warm during winter. We bought jackets sized for preschoolers to elementary school children. I hope next year we can do even better and gift jackets to middle and high school students as well."


He continued, "Although it was a large amount of money I have never spent on clothes for myself, thinking about the children staying warm this winter warms my heart even more, making this Christmas the happiest ever. I also ordered plenty of cakes and bread from a bakery run by a master baker to give to the children," and added, "Merry Christmas to everyone."



Netizens who read the story praised Mr. A and his spouse with comments such as "A real Santa has appeared," "Such good deeds will accumulate and bring great blessings," "You are angels. Truly admirable," and "It’s not easy to donate without giving offerings to the church; amazing."
