Christmas Toy Donation - I will post my donation

$0.00

Spread Joy with a Gift this Christmas

This holiday season, I’m partnering with Peugeot and their e-Expert as well as the Sydney Children’s Hospital at Westmead and Randwick to deliver thoughtful toys and bring smiles to children in need. Your donation helps us brighten the holidays for kids who could use some extra cheer.

Whether it's a cuddly plush toy, an exciting game, or a creative craft kit, every gift you give will be hand-delivered to local hospitals with care and love. We're making it easy for you to get involved: simply register your donation and have you gift delivered by post to one of our two locations.

By joining us in this initiative, you're not just donating a toy—you’re creating memories and spreading kindness when it’s needed most.
