Kayleigh and Mark had a special mission this Christmas - to bring back the magic of the holiday season and spread joy while also raising money for a good cause. The couple, who live in Dagenham, east London, are known for their deep love and obsession for Christmas. Every year, they go all out with their decorations, impressing everyone who passes by and even their neighbors. And this year, they decided to use their passion for a charitable cause.
Mark and Kayleigh's family have always raised money for various charities by decorating their house, and this year was no different. However, this time, their efforts were focused on supporting the British Heart Foundation. Mark himself had to undergo open heart surgery after suffering a near-fatal heart attack, and the charity has been instrumental in his recovery. This was the family's way of thanking them in a practical way.
Their home in Dagenham is now a sight to behold, with an illuminated BHF sign, a giant projection of Santa Claus, biblical figures, a snowman, and other festive characters. The family hopes to not only raise money but also bring back the magic of Christmas for everyone who sees their display.
Mark, who is 36 years old, shared with Metro, "We have been through a lot. I have had many operations, and it's been a strain on the family. But ever since I was young, we've been decorating our house for Christmas and raising money for charity. The British Heart Foundation is incredible, and we just wanted to show our appreciation for them. The people there are amazing."
He continued, "We know we are not the only ones going through a hard time, especially during this tight time for many people. We are hoping to spread some joy and bring back the magic of Christmas." The couple has three children who are absolutely delighted with the decorations, including a full-size Santa statue inside the house.
In just a matter of days, the family has raised almost £800, with hundreds of passersby stopping to admire their spectacular display. Kayleigh, who is also 36 years old, even completed a skydive as part of their fundraising efforts for the BHF. She shared with Metro, "The kids are in love with what we've done. They and their friends are amazed by it. After everything we've been through as a family, we are staying positive and spreading good cheer while also supporting a great cause."
And when it comes to their neighbors, Kayleigh added, "They are all lovely and have been very supportive. We are lucky to have perfect neighbors." The Brent family's display includes a train, a snowman, and a recreation of the nativity scene, bringing the true spirit of Christmas to their home and community.
