Mission accomplished!

Post readers joined forces with the Marines to deliver Toys for Tots. The city’s elves donated 180,000 gifts, which the Brooklyn-based soldiers handed out to 130,000 of the city’s neediest kids. Collection and distribution will continue until Jan. 6.

A summer fire left Veronica Smith, 41, and her kids, Naomi, 16, Tyrese, 10, Ashanti, 6, and Usher, 4, homeless and without a Christmas tree until a Post reader made a special delivery to their Bronx shelter.

The family got a trimmed fir, a laptop, a PlayStation, dolls, remote-controlled cars and even tickets to “Broadway Boys.”

And readers sent Dion Stockley, 5, and his sister, Aliyah, 10, of East New York, everything from toys and clothes to a Christmas tree and dinner.

“I want to thank everybody,” said their mom, Christina Rosario. “I never saw them this happy.” Candice M. Giove
