UNITING CHURCH WEST CHRISTMAS APPEAL – THANK YOU!

A letter of thanks from a family who has benefited from The Uniting Care West/ Carramar Uniting Church Christmas appeal through the donation of gifts from the families of St Stephen’s School & Target Joondalup.

I would like to thank EVERYONE involved. You guys have enabled me and my family to reach out even more to all the children we care for and how it has benefited us all particularly over the last couple of years.

We are a family of mum and dad, plus 6 young people in the home (sometimes more kids as we are foster parents too!) so Christmas can be a difficult time to ensure that everyone gets a small something.

However, with you guys alongside us, you have enabled us to spread the love even more!

To get the phone call to come and pick up “a little something for your family” turned into an amazing experience and I felt extremely humbled by people’s generosity that I want to let those people know just how much their donation makes an impact on our family.

We are so grateful and thankful. We will continue to try to grow healthy, happy and caring young people as best as we can, so they too will grow up and adopt the same culture of ‘giving back’ to our community as you do.

LOST PROPERTY

All items in lost property will be donated or disposed of on Thursday 6 December. Please take a moment to check for any items students may have lost this term.
