❤️ Charlie needs your help to help his friends ❤️
Malkara School has been impacted by the devasting effects of Covid-19.
My five year old Charlie attends kindergarten at Malkara School – an incredible school that provides specialist preschool and primary education to kids with significant intellectual disabilities.
In Charlie’s case it means that despite having had strokes, heart surgeries , epilepsy, brain damage and a complex medical life – he still has access to a high quality education with caring staff who feel like part of our family. Sadly Covid-19 has come in and visited our beautiful school. Charlie wasn’t there at the time and so we have capacity to help all our friends that were.
Many Malkara families and staff have been impacted by Covid-19 and are now isolated – some with Covid-19. This is a very hard time physically and emotionally for these families. The impact of this nasty virus on very vulnerable communities like ours is devastating.
Over the coming week we will be doing a drive to help the families of at least 16 children and 30 staff feel the love of our bigger community. We really need your help.
We will be initially pulling together treat care packs and need donations of the following:
📦 50 boxes/baskets or other that can be used to deliver goods
🧸 Things for kids to do at home for example: small lego/duplo kits, playdough, bubbles,
sticker books, pencils, crayons, chalk, new kids magazines, indoor and outdoor toys
🍭 Treat food for example: pancake mix, cupcake mix, lollies, chips, biscuits
🍫 Treats for adults for example: new magazines, cosmetics such as lipgloss , handcream, sachets of tea and hot chocolate.
🎁 Gift vouchers for online purchases for example: uber eats or other food digital gift
cards.
🪴 Sponsorships from business for example: meals, commercially cooked goods, garden plants, gift vouchers for goods and services that can be delivered contactless.
If you can help or want to know more information please message me, email MelClode@rocketmail.com or text Mel Clode on 0419694517.
