Help our team support whānau this Christmas

By Anglican Family Care | Posted: Tuesday November 29, 2022

$25 provides a caregiver for a child while mum is in hospital if there is no other family support

$50 pays for a whānau worker to visit a family to help them work through a child’s disruptive behaviour

$100 gives a child three play therapy sessions to help them learn to cope with the loss of a loved one

The following resources will help our social workers support parents in their parenting delivery and their child’s learning experience:

• Developmental toys (wooden activity cubes)
• Tactile books for babies
• Jigsaw puzzles (peg, wooden etc)
• Games for over 5-year-olds

Whānau Assistance

• Toiletries for the whole whānau (body wash, shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, nappies, shaving cream, disposable razors, hygiene products)
• Supermarket vouchers (to purchase milk formula and other essentials)
• Petrol vouchers
• The Warehouse vouchers so families can stock up on school supplies
• Sun protection (sunscreen, sunhats)
• Experiences as a family
• New or good quality children’s PJ’s (follow us on Facebook or Instagram for more ideas)
  

Wherever possible we do prefer brand new, but we also accept “as new” pre-loved items. If you would like to contribute or have a question, we’d love to hear from you!
