"Doug and I were in a really bad place heading into Christmas. I felt like there was no end to it, but I couldn’t figure a way out." - Annie
Can you imagine the pain of having to tell your children, “I’m sorry kids, but we can’t do Christmas this year”?
No presents. No Christmas lunch. No Santa. No joy.
Because of the current cost-of-living crisis, this is the heart-breaking reality for thousands of Australian families. But it doesn’t have to be.
When Annie heard the devastating news that her employer was cutting her pay by $6 per hour, she didn’t know what to do.
Annie’s family were already living close to the breadline. This was enough to tip them over the edge. She began having panic attacks at night, and they struggled to make ends meet. Having a Christmas felt impossible.
But then Annie thought of the Salvos…
…and wondered if someone like you could help.
All it took was the kind, generous support of someone like you, and Annie’s hopes of Christmas were suddenly restored.
"The Salvos helped us with bills and gave us vouchers so we could buy Christmas food and presents for the kids. It meant we could actually celebrate Christmas! I’m forever grateful, I really am."
This Christmas, your gift can help keep Christmas alive for another struggling family like Annie’s. They will never forget your kindness, and neither will we.
