A proud father who wants to give his daughter a Christmas she won't forget
After being in a shop full of toys for the first time last year, a father wants his daughter to have that experience again.
This week, thanks to The Festive Big Favour brought to you by Toys R Us & Babies R Us we were introduced to Desmond Oosthuis who nominated his young daughter, Ava May Oosthuis.
The proud father has been through difficult financial situations, and along with his partner, they still managed to keep the family as tight as possible.
