Thanks for support at Christmas

Thanks to you and your readers, children in this community will wake up on Christmas morning and see a coloured parcel under the tree.

Thanks to you and your readers, children in this community will wake up on Christmas morning and see a coloured parcel under the tree with their name on it. Their hearts will light up as they imagine how it got there, how their name got on this shiny present, and what could be inside it.

They will feel the magic of Christmas. And once they’ve opened that present, they will have the opportunity to enjoy a special meal with their family, to take in the wonderful smells of food cooking in the oven, and to go to bed with their bellies full and happiness in their hearts.

Thanks to our community, the SOS Caring for Kids at Christmas Campaign collected enough toys and money to ensure our local families in-need will have gifts and food this holiday season.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making these dreams come true.  We hope all of you have the opportunity to enjoy some meaningful moments, and that you go to bed on Christmas night with love in your heart, knowing you helped deliver the magic of Christmas.
