Shoeboxes of love xx

Is it just me or does everyone think tis the season to think about giving?

It seems amazing, but there are only a couple of months until Christmas.

I’ve received an email from Joan Fitzgerald at the Zonta Club of Caloundra. Joan and her team are planning to put together something called a shoebox of love, to be sent to women who are doing it tough in the country.

I love stories like this. On the Sunshine Coast with our full dams and afternoon sea breeze I don’t think we have any idea what it’s like to be on a property out west where the dams are dry, the livestock are dying and the bank accounts aren’t far behind…

It’s pretty basic, a shoebox filled with all sorts of treats, a scarf, a lipstick some hand cream…whatever might help a woman on the land feel a bit better about Christmas.

The Zonta Ladies have already started putting their shoeboxes together, but they’re after some stuff, so if you think you can help – even if you’re another service club that wants to jump on board or a company that wants to inject some cash - you can contact Joan Fitzgerald at Zonta Caloundra, or email me and I'll put you in touch.
