Despite Ward Angels needing to slow down operations this year, it didn’t stop these two community superheroes from spreading Easter kindness to the families of Blacktown Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
Marcus Campagna from Year 12 Oakhill College and Siena Campagna from Year 6 Oakhill Drive Public School created these beautiful Easter gifts for all 25 families. Each gift contained an Easter baby book, Easter baby bib and a gorgeous Easter cookie.
The families and staff also got to enjoy two huge hampers filled with chocolates and Easter treats.
Our future is in good hands with amazing humans like Marcus and Siena leading the way.
Thank you Marcus and Siena for taking the initiative to care for families with sick children in hospital over Easter. You are both amazing!

Dear Ward Angels Community,

Due to various personal and professional reasons I have had to make the difficult decision to slow Ward Angels down for one year.
This year we won’t be running an Easter, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day or Christmas Drive.
I will be finalizing any commitments made last year but we won’t be taking on any new wish lists or donation call outs.

Ward Angels grew very rapidly and I constantly felt like I was playing catch up. I am using this year to sort out our policies and procedures, our charity structure and our storage facility. Taking this time will enable Ward Angels to run more smoothly in the future and hopefully allow people to help more easily.

In addition to the reasons mentioned above, I also need this year to attend to many family, medical and personal issues that desperately need my attention.

As much as I wish I could do it all, I can’t.

I did not reach this decision lightly and I hope you understand how hard it was for me to admit that Ward Angels has to be put on hold for a year.

I can’t thank you enough for all you have done over the years. I promise we will be back very soon!

We will still be making some smaller donation deliveries and using our Facebook and Instagram pages to highlight and thank our many donors for all their beautiful donations over the years.
Please keep following us and keep an eye out for when we announce our return!

For the remainder of the year we won’t be accepting any donations and our drop off locations will be closed but if you, your school or business would like to help the children in hospital this year, please send us a message and I will have some contact details sent to you.

Thanks again for all your constant support.
Ward Angels would be nothing without you.

We’re so looking forward to opening again next year with renewed energy and lots of exciting things to come.

With love and appreciation,

Josie Dincel

** CHRISTMAS DONATION DRIVE CLOSES TOMORROW**
All donations for our Christmas Toy Drive need to be delivered to our drop off locations by tomorrow in order to give our beautiful volunteers time to drive all your donations to our main storage facility to be sorted for delivery.
Please understand that we cannot accept any donations after tomorrow. It's a very busy time of year and we cannot expect our volunteers to be driving all over Sydney multiple times.
We thank you for your understanding and for your incredible donations so far. We truly have the most beautiful people in our community. I am blown away by your kindness every day.

We don’t normally share go fund me pages but this one has hit close to home.
A true angel on earth, nurse practitioner Amy Barker, who worked at The Grace Centre for Newborn Care at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead passed suddenly on December 2nd, along with her unborn baby. She leaves behind the most beautiful little 2 year old boy and partner Clint.

Many of you may have met Amy or had your baby cared for by this beautiful woman.

Please donate if you can. Even sharing the link is a huge help and please pray for the devastated family and friends that Amy leaves behind. May she rest in peace and love. 🩷

On Saturday, 2nd December 2023, Amy Barker and… Bianca Knott needs your support for Raising Nicholas - In loving memory of Amy Barker

We are so blown away by the creativity and generosity of the incredible Faith in Action Students from St John XXIII Catholic College Stanhope Gardens.
The handmade Disney decorations they have made for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in Blacktown Hospital are so special. They have been created with so much love and care and we know the parents of the little babies in hospital will only have to look around the ward and see your beautiful creations, to feel the love from the community wrapped around them this Christmas.

Thank you so much for your kindness. The world is a better place because of hearts like yours.
