Help me buy as many Backpacks (and supplies) for foster children as possible this Dry July!
Wellington
There are over 5,000 children in foster care in NZ. Are you aware that many of these children arrive at their new placements with NOTHING but the clothes on their backs, or with their belongings in a black rubbish sack?
Let’s change this!
No child should be made to feel like their belongings are “rubbish” and caregivers should be able to focus on the emotional needs when a child arrives, rather than having to run around doing last minute/late night shopping
Foster Hope Wellington make up backpacks to be given to children when they are removed from their homes, which includes a carry all bag, toiletries (toothpaste, shampoo, soap, etc) and some items that will show them they are loved (books, soft toys, etc).
I am going DRY this July - no alcohol for a whole month, and your donation will help me buy as many Backpacks (and supplies) as possible this July!
If you would prefer to help by providing actual items such as new Pyjamas and toiletries - let me know and I can come and pick up!
Thanks Nana!! REALLY stoked to have all of the support and help from family, friends and my colleagues xx
