My name is Aloysius, and I am 9 years old. I recently published my first storybook, Long Lost Mouse. While publishing a book is exciting, I also wondered how I could use it to make a difference in people's lives.

That’s when I came up with the idea of a charity book sale: if you buy my book, I will donate all the profits to the Sisters of Charity Foundation. The Sisters of Charity is a Catholic religious order and charity that supports many projects to help disadvantaged and marginalized members of our community. In particular, I would like to support their remote and rural ministry, as I am so inspired by Sister Anne Mayberry’s work in rural NSW. If you’d like to learn more about this ministry, you can visit their website: Remote and Rural Ministry.

You can receive a copy of my book by making a donation of any amount here. My parents and I will personally reach out to arrange delivery.

I hope you enjoy reading my book, knowing that it’s helping a great cause!
