Family Inspired By #ManOnTheMoon Places Ad Inviting ‘Lonely Elderly’ To Come Join Their Family For Christmas

The #ManOnTheMoon touched a lot of people last week. The story had over 20,000 shares on our site alone and even inspired a personal editorial on the other side of Christmas. Now, one family have decided to take drastic action from the ad and to make a positive change in the life of a lonely elderly person in their area. Ceri Camilleri was so moved by the advert that she decided she wanted to offer her family home to someone isolated and in need of a family for the festive season. Placing an ad on Gumtree, the 25-year old said her family want to offer a lonely person a warm home, Christmas dinner with her family around the dinner table and some company for one of the loneliest times of the year. Posting a photo of her family, she wanted to give the potential house guest the chance to meet her daughter Maddison, partner Jack, mother Amanda and brother Richard.

It’s not just a one day deal either, the big-hearted mum said: “We would like to get to know them and be a part of our family. “Hopefully they will enjoy things that seem normal to us on Christmas Day that they might not get at home.”
