UK’S MOST APPRECIATED POSTMAN RECEIVES ALMOST £2,000 IN TIPS TO FUND HIS WEDDING

Postman

We rely on our posties to bring us our mail every day, and they work tirelessly to make sure everyone gets their letters and parcels on time.

And one neighbourhood’s beloved postman has received huge praise for his hard work, after generous residents teamed up to try and raise a £100 Christmas tip – but ended up raking in almost £2,000.

Jodie Hoskins set up the fundraising page to encourage people in the area of Worthing, West Sussex, to chip in and support their “wonderful” postman, Phil Hammond.

Eager locals flooded the page with thoughtful messages to the “best postman ever” and ended up smashing the £100 goal set by Jodie – with a total of £1,845 donated to Phil.

The postman, who is due to get married soon, said of the kind gesture: “I would like to thank all my customers and wish them a very happy Christmas. I’m very proud to serve them in my job at Royal Mail.”

SHAQUILLE O’NEAL GIFTED 1,000 PS5 AND SWITCH CONSOLES TO UNDERPRIVILEGED KIDS OVER CHRISTMAS

NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal spent his Christmas giving away hundreds of PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch consoles to underprivileged kids over Christmas, it has emerged.

The former basketball star revealed on Gary Vaynerchuk’s podcast, The Gary Vee Audio Experience, that not having a lot growing up really taught him the “value of giving back”. As a result, he gave away no less than 1,000 consoles over the festive period.

O’Neal, who is worth an estimated $400million, stressed the importance of giving what you can and being generous with what you have.

“You know for me, coming from where I come from, my father was a drill sergeant, my mother just was a hard-working woman,” he explained. “Didn’t have a lot. But they taught me the value of giving back. They taught me the value of helping those in need.”

He added that during his work with retailer Toys R Us he learned that 15 to 20 million children in the US wake up on Christmas with no gifts to open. “I felt that one time,” he said. “I don’t ever want a kid to feel like that.”

PROOF THAT BEING PRESENT CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE

KEANU REEVES DONATED AN EYE-WATERING SUM FROM MATRIX SALARY TO CHARITY

Reeves

Keanu Reeves has cemented his position as the nicest man in Hollywood following a heartwarming charitable donation.

According to reports, the Matrix star donated “around 70 per cent” of his salary from the film to organisations researching leukaemia.

He is thought to have earned approximately $45 million in total from the film – $10 million upfront and $35 million from the movie’s box office success.

It is claimed Reeves donated 70 per cent of that overall total ($31.5million). His younger sister Kim was battling the disease at the time.

That wasn’t the end of it though. He then set up a non-profit cancer research foundation and only mentioned it, quietly, in 2009 after years of being active.

He said: “I have a private foundation that’s been running for five or six years, and it helps aid a couple of children’s hospitals and cancer research,” Reeves said.
