We had an urgent request from a Bournemouth Health Visitor for a family yesterday:-
“This is a family of 5. There are three children: 2.5year old girl, 16 months old boy & 4 months old girl. The children would benefit from some clothing and also some toys. We would need clothes in 3-4 years for the girl, 2-3 years for the boy and also some 6-9 & 9-12 for the baby girl. I am also aware that the couple needs shoes for their little boy- he is size 6.
The little baby girl desperately needs a snow suit/ coat as the one she is currently wearing is far too small for her.
The family does not have toys for the children; therefore anything would be greatly appreciated. I have managed to secure a play mat for the little baby.
I think the family needs a double buggy as currently they are using a single buggies; however this does not allow the mother to go out alone with the kids.
Baby girl is still sleeping in a moses basket. Is there any chance we could try and provide this family with a cot and bedding to go with it?
Any help and support from your site will be greatly appreciated”
Within 24 hours,we put a call out for the above items, and collected some toys from our lock up, and the family received it all this afternoon.
Response received – “Thank you for all your help. I have delivered all to the family this afternoon. Mother was really grateful and the children extremely happy. Been smiling and dancing while playing.
Thank you for all your help and support. ”
Thank you to everyone who donated
