📚💛 A BIG THANK YOU TO GREG BOOKER!

We're incredibly grateful to Greg Booker, author of Tuff Duck Earns His Name, for generously donating a box of his wonderful children's books to include in our Bags of Hope!

This heartwarming Australian story follows Tuff Duck, a brave surf lifesaving rescue boat, as he navigates the spills and mishaps of his first day on the job, earning his name along the way! 🌊🚤

It's a wonderful way to introduce young readers to the courage and incredible work of Australia's surf lifesavers.

Thanks to Greg's generosity, these books will bring a little extra joy, adventure and encouragement to children receiving our Bags of Hope.

Thank you, Greg, for helping us create brighter moments for local children! 💛

🛒 Coles and Woolworths gift vouchers

🎁 OVER 800 REQUESTS FOR GIFTS OF HOPE THIS MONTH ALONE! 💛

And that number is expected to keep growing.

We've already received more than 800 requests for Gifts of Hope this Christmas, and we urgently need the support of our community to help us meet this growing demand.

Behind every request is a child facing challenging circumstances. Children in foster care, those escaping domestic and family violence, refugee children and others who deserve to experience the joy and magic of Christmas. 💛

We want to help every child we can, but we simply can't do it without you!

There are two easy ways to make a difference:

🎁 Donate a Gift – Choose and purchase a gift for a child in need.

💛 Make a Monetary Donation – Our team will purchase gifts on your behalf.

Whether you're an individual, family, community group or local business, your generosity can help make Christmas brighter for a child who needs it most.

👉 Please give today: www.hopeforourchildren.com.au/goh

📅 Donations are needed by 30 November to allow our volunteers time to organise and distribute gifts before Christmas.
