"Sending Love Wairarapa"
"Christmas Cards for those that may be alone this Christmas."
Sending Love is about people and communities coming together to make a festive gesture towards another person who may experience loneliness over Christmas. It is one person putting love and thought into a card to pass a smile and a sense of feeling remembered and loved onto another person.
It is not an organization, or a charity; "Sending Love" is a platform and vehicle to enable sending love from one individual to another. It is an avenue to teach communities and children about the power of a simple act of kindness, and the impact this can have on the recipient. It is also about raising awareness in communities across the country of what may be behind closed doors, the sad reality of the loneliness that exists around us all, and that each and every one of us are empowered and have the capacity to be part changing that.
Cards made by children bring a lot of joy to anyone who receives them, there is something very special about them.
The nationwide project started in 2017, we received 32,000 cards within 5-weeks to distribute to rest homes and some RSA's, Meals on Wheels, hospital wards, Women's Refuge etc.
Due to Covid it is uncertain if "Sending Love" will continue collecting cards in other areas, but I am happy to continue to do so at a local level.
Last year I collected 968 cards from our local community.
That's 968 smiles
A huge thank you to everyone who made this possible. Lets see if we can reach 1000 this year!!!
I will advise collection points at a later date.

Thanks in advance
