Kia Ora E Te Whānau

By Anglican Family Care | Posted: Tuesday April 30, 2024

Last year we trialled a new initiative for our Christmastime donations, and invited whānau to come and look through our free Christmas shop (with their worker) in our Dunedin office. This empowered parents to be able to choose Christmas gifts for their tamariki. Each whānau was also gifted a “Christmas Cheer” box to help make the season that little more special.

During one appointment, our worker had brought her client through the “shop” and they had chosen some gifts for their children.

The client was very humbled to be able to access the shop, and was not going to choose anything for herself, despite being encouraged to by our worker.

In the shop, there was a pair of white Adidas shoes.

The Mum was able to choose these shoes for herself, replacing her previously unsuitable shoes, and is now able to achieve one of her goals of walking and exercising more, due to the generosity of our community.
