THIS family has a real Toy Story for Christmas thanks to the Artie White Foundation.
Grandmother Sidonie Winterton and her family have received one of the charity's 12 Days Of Christmas gifts.
The 61-year-old, of Brookenby, was nominated for the treat by her son-in-law, Matthew Slawson, 28.
He is married to Sidonie's daughter, Zara, 31, who suffers from epileptic seizures, so her children go to her mum's house each day.
Matthew said: "Sidonie is a wonderful, loving person. She has got a heart of gold – she will help anybody with children.
"She walks to her home, helps clean and tidy the house, helps with the children.
"The lady deserves something special. She lives on only £90 per week and is a truly loveable lady who is so special."
Delighted Sidonie was presented with a £100 voucher by Terry Donovan, of the foundation, surrounded by her grandchildren, Kieran 7, George, 4 and Tanisha, 9.
She said: "I am pleased I have got a voucher to spend on the kids.
"The children have given me their lists of toys they would like – all four pages of them.
"I am always there for them and we all help each other out. I love them all to bits."
She told of her joy at being able to see them every day. She picks them up if mum Zara is not able to take them to school.
After school and at weekends they go for walks around the former airbase in the village.
Zara said: "I am happy because mum deserves the gift. She helps look after the kids and helps clean up.
"Words can't express our gratitude to her.
"I can't get out much because of the seizures, but mum is always there for all of us."
The foundation's chairman, Barry Meadows, said: "We have picked some of the most deserving families to receive the gifts at Christmas.
"We want to give to a mix of people old and young.
"It is a good thing to give as it gives them a lift and gives us a cheer because it is good to give."
