Help Bring Christmas Magic to a Family Who’ve Fled Domestic Violence
Christmas 2025
Domestic & Family Violence
Imagine what it must feel like to flee your home with nothing but the clothes on your back. To leave behind everything familiar, and now imagine it's the lead up to Christmas. This is the reality for this local family.
While many of us are decorating trees, wrapping gifts, and feeling the joy of the season, this family will be in temporary housing, facing a Christmas that looks very different.
A brave mum and her four children - a 15 year old boy, a 13 year old girl, a 10 year old boy (who love footy and sports), and a 4 year old boy (who loves superheros) - have had to start over from nothing.
We’re hoping to give this family a reason to smile on Christmas morning. To help mum put a little magic under the tree. We’re seeking donations of brand new toys for each child, and a gift for mum too.
We’d love to be able to give each child a main (wow) gift, along with a few smaller presents and/or stocking fillers.
Gift vouchers and Christmas food hampers are also very welcome.
