TFA Xmas Donation

For the past few Christmases, we’ve donated to a women’s refuge in Fremantle, and each year we’re amazed by what they achieve with our relatively small contribution.⁠
⁠
Pauline Eves at the Fremantle Foundation sent us the acquittal report this morning, and it made some of us teary! The refuge staff used our funds to create meaningful experiences for families in their care during the school holidays. They purchased movie tickets and rides on the giant Fremantle Ferris Wheel. For children unable to leave the centre due to safety concerns or anxiety, they organised a special Bluey Day at the refuge.⁠
⁠
What tipped us over the edge was a message from a little girl who was excited to finally have holiday adventures to share with her friends at school. Previously, she had felt isolated from her peers because she’d had limited access to the special activities other children enjoyed during breaks. At the risk of sounding overly sentimental, this proves the old adage: a little really does go a long way.⁠
