The Pyjama Foundation supports children in foster care, by providing them with a volunteer Pyjama Angel who inspires them with learning, life skills in confidence. As well as building an incredible relationship with these kids, our Pyjama Angels also build an unbreakable bond with the foster carers they support. On top of the support we provide to these families, a donation like this allows us to provide them with an incredible gift that often removes a financial burden from carers shoulders.
This donation has had an enormous impact on our immediate community. On the day, we opened our office for foster carers to come and stock up on the incredible stock we had received from Big W. That morning we had more than 500 people come through our doors. Many carers commented that they were able to fit out their entire family and were particularly excited about the Winter goods which many could usually not afford.
What our carers have said…
“I just want to thank you all so much for the clothing that we picked up today. I am a Kinship Carer for four of my grandchildren and believe me the things we got today is greatly appreciated. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I even found a couple of tops for myself. An added bonus.” – Cheryl H
“Thanks for opening your doors today. My little one is all stocked for winter with some little prezzies to keep him happy. I was able to get some clothes for myself as well. Very much appreciated.” – Alex H
