Can you help?
Backpacks 4 SA Kids INC.
💔 We urgently need your help to fill the gaps in our shelves.
Often the kids we support are leaving their homes in emergency situations with nothing but the clothes they’re wearing at the time - no basics to give them dignity, no special items to bring comfort during an overwhelming time and nothing to call their own.
Backpacks 4 SA Kids exists to change that but right now, some of our most-needed items are running drastically low.
Can you help us with any of the following?
🍼 Baby Goods*:
• Nappies size 4 (10–15kg) and size 5 (13-18kg)
• Drynites size 2-4yrs (13–20kg) & size 4-7yrs (17-30kg)
• Baby wipes
• Baby bottles
• Face washers
✏ Stationery*:
• Pencil cases
• Coloured markers (textas)
• Coloured pencils
• Chunky coloured pencils (for little fingers)
• Erasers
• Chalk
• Highlighters
🧦 Underwear & Socks*:
• Boys underwear size 3, 4, 14, 16
• Girls underwear size 3, 4, 16
• Socks – boys and girls shoe sizes 5-8 kids
👕 Clothing:
Shorts:
• Boys size 5, 6, 7
• Girls size 5, 6, 7, 8
Long sleeve tops:
• Boys size 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 16
• Girls size 4, 5, 6, 12, 14, 16
💡 Important: All clothing items size 10 and up plus the items marked with an asterisk (*) must be brand new. Other items can be pre-loved but must be in excellent condition so every child feels valued and special.
