From Natalie, Hope in a Suitcase

 

Hi John, 

 

I just wanted to send a very big thank you for the backpacks, they are absolutely amazing. 

 

They will be going out in the next few weeks to help the incredible children we support across multiple Department of Community and Justice centres. 

 

(Hope in a Suitcase’s mission is to provide children entering foster or out-of-home care a suitcase of new essential items to call their own and send them a message of hope.)

 

From Rebekah Sadlier,  Carrie’s Place

 

Good afternoon John and Office National team,

 

On behalf of Carrie's Place, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks for your incredibly generous donation of backpacks and stationary supplies.

 

Please accept our Certificates of Appreciation, as a small token of our gratitude. I'll also be displaying one of your donated backpacks at our team meetings, so that case managers can share with their clients what we are providing. I  can assure you, my sentiments of gratitude will be echoed across the team.

 

Your amazing contribution will have a significant impact on the lives of children and teens in our community this Christmas. We deeply appreciate your commitment to supporting those who need it most. Thank you once again for your kindness and support.
