The cold weather is also a sign of the approaching festivities, and it seems that everyone is digging into their winter wardrobes for woolly hats and big, thick winter coats – and for the children at one of the primary schools we are working with, this is possible for them as well.
When a local church approached us to ask how they could
intentionally donate to our youth project, and we mentioned that a few of the
young people might need coats for winter, the church stepped up to donate
enough to be able to buy every single pupil from Reception to Year 6 a brand
new coat. Our youth coordinator told us what an amazing sight it was to see
each one of the school’s 80 children buttoned up against the cold as they ran
around on their lunch break.
We are constantly humbled and deeply appreciate every
donation that we receive, but at this time of year we are especially grateful
when individuals and groups choose to give to those we are working with, as we
know there are so many other claims on your time and money. Yet we do ask, if you are able, please
consider supporting A Way Out this Christmas.
Thank you so much for your support throughout 2015 – with
your help we have managed to reach out and support so many vulnerable women,
young people and families. In 2016 we will keep doing all we can to bring love,
hope and freedom to those who need it, and hope that you will continue to stand
with us as we do. Thank you.
