Brought

I cringe at the thought of how much money I
have wasted over the years on ‘stuff’ kind of presents and stocking fillers for
my kids that have either broken before the Christmas tree came or was forgotten
about very soon after.
I cringe because the money I wasted on
those things that my kids neither need nor really appreciate could have been put to a far better use
– helping those kids in the world who literally have nothing.
This Christmas UNICEF is appealing to us
Aussies to give the stocking fillers the flick and say “Enough of the Stuff” and
“Give Good” to where it really matters instead.
For as little as $16 bucks, we can make a
huge difference in the life of a child in need. By spending the money we would
otherwise spend on ‘stuff’ for our own kids on an Inspired Gift, UNICEF will
deliver gifts to the children that need it the most. Gifts that include polio
vaccines, educational tools, baby weigh
scales, nutritional health supplements, water pumps, emergency shelter and vital
community equipment for UNICEF field and community workers.
When you buy an inspired gift for someone,
a special gift card is sent to your recipient telling them what you have sent
on their behalf to a child in need.
It’s the gift that you can feel good about
giving, and your recipient can feel good about receiving… not to mention how
those kids who actually receive those precious gifts will feel.
Let’s show them we care this Christmas and
say ‘Enough of the Stuff' and ‘Give for Good‘ instead.
To see the full list of gifts available to
purchase, please visit the UNICEF website here.
BUT WAIT… before you go, there is one more
thing you I appeal to you to please do.
