Purple Picnic

Allanah & Madeline Day is incredibly important to me, please dig deep for an incredible cause!

Thank you so so much for visiting my Purple Picnic page. 

Please donate to support my Purple Picnic and help children fleeing violence feel safe, loved and cared for!

The Alannah & Madeline foundation has been so important to me ever since discovering their work through my own fundraising efforts with Clever Contacts.

For children who need theraputic and tangible support in their moments of crisis. Please dig deep and help me hit my goal.

Thank you!!!

THANK YOU

Friday 19th Sep
What started as a personal fundraiser with a modest goal of $500, turned in to $2,401 and 43 Buddy Bags for children escaping violence.

To everyone reading this, family, friends, and my incredible coworkers at Clever Contacts:
💜 Thank you. 💜

You have humbled me, you have shocked me, you have made me cry tears of joy.

Some of the incredible milestones we've reached have been unthinkable, but most shocking of all, on Purple Picnic day we raised over $1,000 IN A SINGLE DAY!
That and I got to speak with a personal hero of mine, Walter Mikac, founder of the Alannah & Madeline Foundation...

So, baking 80 heart shaped cookies and making a playlist of over 100 song suggestions from my coworkers was the least I could do!

💜

The children we've helped will never know our names, and we'll never know theirs, but that in and of itself is a beautiful thing. 
These strong young souls don't have to live a life defined by trauma, because nameless people who know what it's like to be a scared and confused kid came together...
I hope you know the incredible impact you've all made on the lives of so many Aussie kids just wanting to live out their childhood.

And I hope you know the impact your words and stories have had on me. 

In some small way I hope I've wrapped a small purple bow on a big big story, so thank you for donating, and thank you for making my year!

Clever Contacts Songs of Hope

I've put together a playlist of everyone's requests for tomorrow's shift, when we were kids - music helped us get through those difficult days. So I hope everyone enjoys the concentrated nostalgia!

GOAL REACHED!!!!

Friday 12th Sep
I want to joyfully thank • every • single • one • of my coworkers at Clever Contacts for making what was originally my own personal fundraiser such a massive success!

These last two days I have had such incredible conversations with many amazing and diverse people because of my closeness to this charity.
Thank you to each of the incredible people who donated their hard earned money for children in need!

Seriously, if you are reading this, I hope you know that I appreciate you. Thank you so so very much!
I hope your heart feels as full and hopeful as mine as I write this.

Thank you!

So proud of what you do to support this charity Nick! The best comment I heard from you was one of your clients said she wished that when she left her Domestic violence situation, her little girl could have had this buddy bag with pyjamas and toothbrush etc in it.

Congratulations on hitting and exceeding your goal! Amazing work. This will help so many children in need to find a new sense of normal in an otherwise hard and potentially traumatic moment in their life. I didn’t have access to charities like this one at the time that could have helped me when I was a child living through violence so it’s important to me that the children of today and/or their support networks know about this amazing charity and can access the support they need as they need it so they can continue to grow and live a happier, healthier and safer life. We are all so proud of the effort you put in to getting donations towards such an amazing and worthy cause while dealing with an injury. Well done and love from us all.
