23.01.2022 I NEED YOUR HELP!!! BIG GOAL TO REACH IN 3 weeks! (Minimum)... 20 school back packs (boys and girls) 20 hats 20 drink bottles 20 packs of pencils/textures 20 led pencils 20 art books/plain scrapbooks for drawing 20 handballs/tennis balls 20 pairs of summer pajamas (boys/girls, sizes from 4 to 16) 5 packs of playing cards/bingo 10 skipping ropes 10 kids bodywash Over the next 3 weeks I will be busy packing suitcases/packages to go to at least 20 worthy and absolutely loveable children living in Out-of-home-care, in an extremely remote Indigenous community in the Northern Territory. How deadly would it be if we could share the love and hope all the way to the NT, that we could impact these children's lives in a way which may empower them and give them hope for their future. If you can help by donating an item or by helping to fund purchases towards this goal, please let me know. Imagine if everyone donated just one item...put together it becomes alot.

19.01.2022 Every donation no matter how big or small makes a difference Remember when people come together, 'A Little' can become 'Alot'. Don't under-estimate your impact.

18.01.2022 Yes thats right, this many suitcases were needed in just one week, in the hunter alone. More were also handed out with love in other regions/states. That is the reality out there in our community. We can either close our eyes to it or do somethjng about it. Self-esteem is the foundation of a child’s well-being and is their passport to resilience, success, and hope for their future. Children measure their own value by how they perceive others value them. Lets show every child ...entering foster care that THEY ARE VALUED & WORTHY. Lets help cement together a solid foundation for their future. Thank you to those that help make this possible

15.01.2022 Thank you to all the amazing and generous souls out there that make these deliveries possible. I am so grateful for the support & donations. I have had a beautiful response from people which will help make our recent goal achievable and a reality, to reach 20 children living in out-of-home care in remote community in the NT....

14.01.2022 Studies have shown when children grow up and leave out-of-home-care they have an increased risk of a range of poor social, educational and health outcomes including homelessness, mental illness, unemployment, substance misuse, contact with the justice system, early parenthood and low education attainment (Campo & Commerford, 2016). BUT what if we could help change this. WHAT IF we could empower them from the moment they enter care, by showing them they are loved and worthy. ...SELF WORTH & SELF-ESTEEM is fundamental to a childs healthy development and their resilience to cope with challenges in life. IT CREATES ROOM FOR CHANGE It brings hope. Pictured is some (not all) of the love and hope delivered this week. #hopeinasuitcaseaustralia #theymatter #outofhomecare #empoweringwithselfesteem #bringinghope #togetherwecan

08.01.2022 Together we can move the mountains of shame & self doubt, fear, hopelessness, and feelings of worthlessness, and make room for self belief, self-esteem & self-worth, security, Love, courage & resilience. Thank you to incredible people that have helped our NT goal so far. Don't forget everyday is a good day to make someone smile.... We would love any donations, no matter how big or small, it all makes a difference and makes it so the suitcases of hope are made possible EVERYDAY

04.01.2022 "Thank you so much. Do I get to keep this? Wow" "I can finally put some different clothes on. I have had these on for 4days. YESSS!! I now have my own toothbrush" These were the very first words that came out of a childs mouth this week. With toys and books and all kind of exciting things in front of him, this young worthy child first got excited about the very things we take for granted. ... It is heartbreaking, But together we are changing this!!! I cannot thank everyone enough for the generosity, love, & support that has been shown. It is so beautiful to see so many people jumping on board so that we can make a difference in these children's lives. Thank You for being willing to be their village. Thank You for appreciating their worth. Thank You for bringing hope. It has been a busy couple weeks with suitcase deliveries and preparing for our NT delivery, along with another 24 suitcases which will be going out to an agency in the next wk. I had such an incredibly generous offer this wk which could not have come at a better time. Something I needed so much but didnt want to have to, nor did I know who to ask. ....Some space to store our suitcases & items...and in walking distance. I could have cried. I believe we cross paths with people for a reason. A massive thank you to @mopphair @thejadeleeder @soquewarehouseapartments Along with all the other amazing individuals and workplaces out there contributing .

01.01.2022 Children dont earn their worth, they are born worthy. Worthy of love, safety, security, and hope. Worthy of a community that cares about them and acknowledges their existence. I am so glad this precious little one this morning will know right from the beginning that he is worthy and loved. We see you little one, we hear you And although you have entered this world to a rough start please know you have a community behind you that loves you, cares about you, and holds hope f...or your future. Foster children are no less worthy than any of us. #makingadifference #itsthesimplethings #fostercare #kidsincare #hopeinasuitcaseaustralia #theymatter #everychildmatters
