Santas among celebrities. Which influencers help the most?
In the era of widespread influencer culture, many individuals prioritise their careers. However, some influencers use their platform to do some good. Which of these influencers can be considered Santa Clauses?
Although supporting those in need is often discussed, not everyone considers how to help others in today's fast-paced, consumerist society. To paraphrase Albert Schweitzer's quote, "Goodness is the only thing that multiplies when you share it."

The creator also engages others to help; Tribbs and Dawid Kwiatkowski, among others, responded to Marshall's invitation. The volunteer's activities, which also include donating dream toys to hospitals, aim to bring smiles back to children's faces.
A special fundraiser set up by MarshallPies is currently running online. The goal? To raise money to visit children in hospitals, orphanages, special kindergartens and hospices. Marshall also visits the elderly and the ailing.

Recently, she became a temporary caregiver for two abandoned kittens that she found in the middle of the road. This is not the first time that Karolina has shown such kindness towards animals. She regularly rescues stray cats and finds them safe homes. She even saved a hit-and-run cat once. Without hesitation, Karolina travelled from Malopolska to Silesia to collect blood from the veterinary blood bank for the injured feline.
"Last night, I found a hit-and-run cat dragging its paws behind me. We picked it up and drove to the 24-hour clinic and found it had a broken pelvis. Using my reach, I created a fundraiser involving my community to raise PLN 5,500 for this cat's treatment. Thanks to this money, the cat found its way to a veterinary clinic, which cared for his health. He was very mired and had scabies and anaemia. I went to Katowice to bring blood for him, which could be transfused," Karolina Byrgiel reported on social media. Unfortunately, it was too late to help the pet, but this did not deter the creator from continuing to help.
