Please help us to put a smile back onto thousands of kids’ faces this Christmas.

This festive season over 5,000 Kids will need YOUR help at Christmas time!

A message from a Foster mum:

Receiving a phone call after 5pm on Christmas Eve brings dread to my heart not because we don't want children in our homes on this special day, but because even with the 'just in case' gifts we purchase they may not be age or gender appropriate and I always want to create a 'Christmas Dream' for them.

Last year along with 2 beautiful children with sad eyes and no expectations came backpacks especially for their age groups and beautifully brightly wrapped presents!!!

The relief I felt is indescribable, but more importantly the smiles, tears of happiness and full belly chuckles from these 2 gorgeous kids showed me exactly why YOU all do what you do by going the extra mile. The special hand crafted card, the ribbon surrounding the presents and the beautiful paper may seem like nothing, but these kids kept their paper, ribbon and card obviously made by another child to make their Christmas special and to remind them of the Christmas they received a present from Father Christmas.

Thank you will never seem like enough and I wish I could share a photo of their faces and tapes of their laughter to know how much of a difference YOU made to these beautiful children.

By donating this Christmas, YOU REALLY WILL make a difference and will bring a smile and laughter to a child. A simple present can bring so much joy and happiness but can also reduce the stress and anxiety for those supporting our kids and families who are displaced at Christmas time.

YOUR donation this Christmas will help Backpacks 4 SA Kids put thousands of smiles on what would otherwise be very frightened and scared kids.
