Give to kids, Alannah & Madeleine Foundation

Avril has asked that if you were thinking of buying her a birthday present, please don’t. She would really like you to give the money you would have spent as a donation so kids who need a present at Christmas can have something special. She says she feels so lucky all the time. She has chosen the Alannah & Madeline Foundation. Here is the info about the foundation. Leading national not-for-profit organisation working to protect children from the effects of violence and bullying.

They care for children who have experienced or witnessed serious violence; reduce the incidence of bullying, cyber bullying and other cyber risks; and advocate for the safety and wellbeing of children.

The foundation has reached more than 2.5 million children and their families nationwide since the Foundation started. We think their work is exceptional. Starting from a tragedy the foundation gives hope and care to those who need some help.
