Victoria Azarenka is grateful for everything she has in life because she remembers a time when it wasn't like that.
Azarenka is grateful that she has made herself a great living from
tennis and that she is able to provide amazing Christmas gifts for her
son Leo. She revealed that in an emotional message where she wrote:
"I am really happy and grateful to be able to provide an amazing Xmas for Leo and all the gifts he wanted because my parents did the best they can with very very little, but still they went out of their way to make it special for me and my brother… it does always, however, makes me think about many many families and kids who don’t have the same privilege now."
She further wrote:
"I asked Leo today that we should pack some toys he has and give them to other kids who may not have any gifts today. I try to explain to him why, I think it’s hard for him to understand. Even if I tell him by my own example and how we didn’t always have that chance, he is a bit resistant at first but he does want to do it. So we will go packing. Just wanted to share this because this always make me remember when I was a kid and gets me emotional."
