Just wanted to say a huge thank you for your generous donations of Christmas gift bags for our clients and their children. Each client of mine that received a bag was overwhelmed with the generosity, and many requested that I pass on their gratitude. One client stated ‘I want to say thank-you to you… you made my xmas better for my daughter and I appreciate that’. Another client said her girls ‘wanted to give a huge hug and say thank you for their gifts, as they were over the moon!’. And a third client stated ‘Thank you so much, That’s…

She wanted me to thank you both a million times and let you know that this gift means so much and will make an immeasurable difference in her life. Thank you

The grandparents that got one of your packs couldn’t believe how lovely the things were and a teenager needing some “love” gave me goosebumps with how excited she was. You would have thought she won the the lotto she was so excited. To top it off, a pair of pyjamas that I donated in the PJ Drive, were the ones that you put in her pack.

My role is a supervisor at the Wangaratta Police station.  On occasion we have had cause to utilise resources provided by tots2teens.  On numerous occasions we have had victims, offenders, witnesses attend at the station often in company of their young children.  It is often difficult to interview, take statements or engage in general conversation with the parties whilst children are present.  Tots2teens have provided the police station with child friendly activity bags which can be provided to the children on arrival.  The packs contain toys, activities, hygiene products and a small surprise which alleviates any distress the children may…

All too frequently this has included children exposed to significant trauma and needing the help of first responders. I understand how traumatic this can be for them and am more than happy to support any initiative that can take away some of the trauma, hurt and fear that regularly comes with these experiences.
