🎄 CHRISTMAS APPEAL — 10 DOWN, 90 TO GO! 🎄
Hi everyone we know times are tough currently with the prices of everything so high which is why we’re reaching out to our community and asking asking if you CAN AFFORD $5–$10 TO BUY A CHILD A SMILE THIS CHRISTMAS? ✨
We currently have 10 generous donations we still need 90 more to hit the target.
With time ticking and Christmas just around the corner, we desperately need your help to make this achievable.
This Christmas we We deliver BRAND-NEW or handmade gifts to kids 0–16 across Melton & surrounds this Christmas — children who are homeless, removed from family home due to death of a parent carer, children who have lost everything in fires/floods, or escaping family violence & breakdown. 💔
All items must be BRAND NEW — PLEASE every child deserves dignity. They’ve already been through enough. I know together we can give them something to smile about i’ve seen our community do amazing work we are so grateful for our community. 💛
Teamwork makes the dream work!
I look at my own children on Christmas — I see the joy in their faces, the light in their smiles. It breaks my heart to think there are children in my very own town who will not get that chance. Together, we can change that. 🫶
