“To the lovely family that helped us at Christmas, if it wasn’t for you I don’t think it would’ve been possible for us to celebrate Christmas. You helped with so much it bought tears to my eyes”

“From the bottom of my heart I would like to say a huge thank you for everything you provided for me and my family. You have no idea how much we appreciated your support. You put a smile and happiness on my kids faces on Christmas day”

“We had an amazing Christmas thanks to you. The children's excitement on Christmas day is something I will treasure forever”

"After an extremely hard year for our whānau, the pressure it took off us at a busy time of year was so appreciated. Our children were so amazed by the kai & beautiful gifts, their reactions were magical. Your generosity made what was a very stressful time into the best Christmas"

"On behalf of our family we would like to thank you for the amazing gift of Christmas, you provided us an opportunity to teach our children about kindness and charity – thank you! This year has been an extremely hard year so this has given some much needed joy and lifted a huge weight off our shoulders"

“Families are amazed that someone they don’t know is willing to help them out. It’s quite common to hear recipients say how these hampers makes them feel loved and how good it is to be reminded that people do actually care” - Support a Family Coordinator Glenda Marshall
