Burdekin Women Provide Hope In A Suitcase

A group of local Burdekin women ‘packed a little joy’ when they made a donation to Hope In A Suitcase Australia last week.

The Ayr Branch of the Catholic Women's League collected items throughout the month of October before donating the items to Hope In A Suitcase, a non-profit organisation providing suitcases for children going into foster care or out-of-home care throughout north Queensland.

“It was wonderful to meet some of the ladies from the Ayr branch of the Catholic Women's League when they dropped off all the beautiful donations they had collected over the last month or so for us,” Hope in a suitcase Australia - North Qld region said on social media.

“We are so grateful for their generosity and thank you to their kind friend who drove it over for us in his ute!”

“Many of these items we were almost completely out of so it was perfect timing!

“They also raised some money which will enable us to purchase suitcases and items as needed - what a huge impact their generosity will have!”

Congratulations to all involved in this thoughtful donation which is sure to make a massive impact!
