A Huge Thank You for Your Kindness and Generosity over 2024!!

As the team and I reflect on the past year, we wish to express our sincere gratitude to all who have contributed to our cause. Your kindness and generosity, particularly during this season, have a profound impact. With your support, we are able to engage with and provide a safe and joyful Christmas for those in our community affected by whānau family violence.

Your contributions enable us to establish a secure environment for those in need, and we are immensely thankful for the difference you make. Every donation is significant, and together we are striving towards a future where whānau can flourish, free from violence.

If you wish to donate, please visit our website or contact us directly at admin@odwr.nz.

Ngā mihi nui for your continued support.

You are instrumental in bringing hope, safety, and warmth to those in greatest need.

Meri Kirihimete and a Happy New Year to you all!

🎄 It’s Not Too Late to Make Christmas Special for Our Safe House! 🎁

The holiday season is a time of giving, love, and togetherness—a time when we can come together as a community to spread joy to those who need it most. Here at Ōtepoti Dunedin Whānau Refuge, we are working hard to ensure that the whanau - families staying in our safe house feel the magic of Christmas, but we need your help to make it happen.

Every year, we provide Christmas presents to wāhine and tamariki who are spending the holidays in our care, often far away from familiar surroundings and support networks. Your generosity can help us create a moment of joy, warmth, and hope during what can be an incredibly challenging time for our whānau.

What We Need

If you’re able to contribute, we’re looking for:

• Christmas VOUCHERS or gift cards are all greatly appreciated.

• Urgently in need Rolls of Christmas wrapping paper to ensure every gift is beautifully presented with love and care.

Help Us Spread the Joy

Every gift you give not only brings joy but also reminds the whānau in our care that they are not alone. Your generosity is a reminder of the kindness and support of the wider community.

Together, let’s make this Christmas one to remember for our wāhine and tamariki.

From all of us at Ōtepoti Dunedin Whānau Refuge, thank you for your aroha and support. ❤️
