Hello everyone!
CAN YOU HELP
We have teamed up with Julie & the Aston Hotel in Witton which is a shelter for homeless men.
The generous residents of Sutton Coldfield and the surrounding areas have helped with their fabulous donations, and last year was able to donate to St Anne's Hostel in Highgate, and support houses in Erdington.
CAN YOU PUT A SMILE ON A FACE?
A shoe box filled with a few essentials is exactly what is needed. Shower gel, body spray, antiperspirant, lip salve, hand cream, toothpaste and toothbrush, nail clippers, nail file, sponge, cotton buds, tissues, disposable razors, hat, gloves, socks (8-12), boxershorts (M), pen, small pad of paper, pack of playing cards, but MOST IMPORTANTLY CHOCOLATE AND A HAND WRITTEN CARD!
Chocolate is at the bottom of their priority list in life and as most of you know, a hand written card makes such a difference. Kind words of encouragement and support go a long way and please sign each card, eg. from Paul and Judith, from Sam, Alice, Joe and Polly, but no addresses please.
If you have children ask them to draw a picture and send a message.
I am often asked "why did Sarah and Alex write to me?" Simple answer...Because they care.
A big thank you to all that donated last year and for your continued support including the Easter Egg donation. I am humbled by your generosity and could not do this without your help. Never underestimate the impact these gifts and cards have on the homeless lads/men in our community. If you can support this. I will need the donations by Thursday 19th December 2024 to deliver to The Aston Hotel the following week.
A reminder you of how donations have been received previously, please see the pictures below!
