A charity to raise money for gift bags to give to youth in inpatient treatment.

Christchurch, Canterbury

Hi, my name is Naomi and I'm 19 years old.

Going into a youth mental health ward can be terrifying and overwhelming. Some people show up with nothing but the clothes on their back.

My goal is to make this experience less scary for youth, while making them feel loved and cared for.

Purple Hearts of Hope is a place for people like you to help. The money raised will go towards gift packages that will be sent to mental health facilities to be given to patients.

Every bit donated will be used and appreciated!

I personally have spent time in mental health wards.

Use of funds

The money will be spent on things safe for a mental health ward. Stuffed animals, books, sensory toys, stickers, journals...etc

Thank you all who donated! It really means so much, we raised more than I ever thought and every bit really helped out.

Yhe pakages have been so appreciated, as staff have told me, and I've even heard from patients who received some:)

I've not stopped raising money, the packages aren't finished. But I'll be raising money in other ways from now:)

Thank you all again💜💜💜

As somebody who has been in the hospital multiple times for depression it is scarier than some people might think and if a little box helps kids get the help they need that I will gladly donate 🙂
