Christmas appeal

You can help give abused and neglected children a safe home and a joyful Christmas.

Christmas is a time when children really need to feel that they are safe and loved. But sadly, many of the children who come into our care have never had the chance to experience a Christmas like that. Many have been neglected and abused all their short lives. 

We want these children to feel all the love and joy of a family this Christmas - and you can help. 

By supporting us today, you can help these children stay in the care of a loving foster family and enjoy a safe and joyful Christmas.

Please help by giving to our 2011 Christmas Appeal.

Your gift can help these wonderful caring families to provide the children in their care with their first proper Christmas. Their first Christmas with all the trappings; all the safety and love that other children get to enjoy every Christmas.

With your support, we at Good Shepherd Youth & Family Service can help all the children in our care to experience a Christmas they will treasure forever. Thank you.

There are many ways your gift can help this year:

  • $25 can help provide a scrapbook or photo album for a child to keep their special memories in.
  • $45 can help pay for healthcare like dentist or optometry bills for a child.
  • $90 can help pay for a school uniform for a child.
  • $200 can help fund a Literacy Program for a child.
  • $350 can help provide a car seat, an essential item to ensure babies and young children have a safe journey.
  • $500 can help provide a term of tutoring for a child to who may be struggling to keep up with their school work.
  • $800 can help provide essential items like a desk, single bed & linen for a child's bedroom.
  • $1500 can help provide 3 life stories workshops for 25 children and their foster parents to learn how to create and keep special mementoes which record the child's life.
