CAN YOU HELP US - GABBY'S CHRISTMAS HAMPER ACT OF KINDNESS
Each year we gift Gabby Christmas Hampers to Taranaki Base Hospital Paediatric Social Workers & Public Health Community Nurses to gift to families they work with and also to each family that is on Starship Child Cancer Ward on Christmas Day & Taranaki Base Hospital Children's Ward.
The feedback we get from the staff that hand out these Christmas Hampers & families is so special and showed these hampers make a huge impact.
'Delivering these Christmas Hampers to families is my favourite thing to do. Seeing the tears in their eyes as they accept the beautiful hamper. Thanks so much for providing these to our department for the families we work with.'
'Thank you for the Christmas Hamper that was gifted to our family. Our son has a disability and has ongoing health issues and we have had a really rough year. Receiving this beautiful hamper full of yummy food and baking just made our day. We can't thank you enough.'
'When I delivered the Christmas Hamper to a family their daughter's eyes lit up and said 'Mum, it's Christmas'. Both the Mum and I had tears in our eyes. That family was struggling so much financially and this gift meant so much to them.
'We were in Starship Child Cancer Ward on Christmas Day and we got such a lovely surprise when the nurse brought in your gorgeous Christmas Hamper. We had been having a really tough time emotionally and financially and it was so nice to have someone we didn't know do this lovely act of kindness for us.'
Huge thanks to our lovely friend, Vicki of Goodies for Giving who is putting together these hampers for us and includes her gorgeous baking in them. This is the third year she has done this for us and we can't thank her enough.

We are starting our Christmas Hamper Fundraiser early this year so we can start to buy groceries as they are on special so we can fill the hampers with even more treats.
