THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS NZ [Private, Facebook]
"...This is a group set up and run by solo parents (but anyone is free to help) with a goal of helping provide a little bit of Christmas joy to those who find the Christmas season difficult and financially challenging.
While our primary aim is to help solo parents we are willing to help any family or individuals in need over the holiday season.
In our first 2 years we have provided Christmas hampers for around 10 families all over Auckland.
We aim to grow and help more families each Christmas. Poverty is a very real situation in New Zealand.
As a solo dad raising 2 young boys on the DPB for 3 years I had 3 years of living very lean but was still fortunate to always be able to give my boys presents and be with them to share in the Christmas Spirit. My two boys are my inspiration for starting this group and I hope that it forever seals in their heart love, humanity and humility..."
