Christmas Appeal

For the poor, disadvantaged and marginalised, Christmas can be a time of abject despair and fear. Many children don't receive a gift on Christmas morning, and go on to face the stark reality of a future without even decent shoes or clothes to wear. For more than 170 years, The Sisters of Charity have been helping the poor and needy in Australia, making a real difference to those who would otherwise "fall through the cracks".

With your help this Christmas, we will work to expand our reach. Your donation to this appeal will mean a world of difference to people who through no fault of their own, live everyday with the harsh effects of poverty. The homeless, mentally ill, victims of domestic and other forms of violence and the sick need a helping hand.

$50	will provide shoes and socks for 2 children
$100	will provide food parcels to assist 5 families
$200	will provide a lawn mower for a group of 4 people with a disability living in group accommodation
$500	will provide safe accommodation for asylum seekers for 3 months
$1,000	will provide grief counseling for 20 children whose parent is dying of cancer

Please consider making a generous donation today to our Christmas Appeal, and help us make a real difference in the lives of the hurting, needy and disadvantaged in our community.
