I am putting together a Christmas Package for a family in need. I require a Fibre Optic Christmas Tree (preferably) if anyone has anything like this, and decorations would also be welcome. I will also add vouchers and gift cards for the family to get them through the Christmas period. If you would like to help out, brilliant. If not, that's ok maybe you have someone you know that you could be a secret Santa to. Merry Christmas.

Hundreds of Kiwi children will receive something special this Christmas thanks to Ryman Healthcare’s support of the Catalytic Foundation’s Christmas Shoebox Project.
