“If you would like to share the spirit of Christmas with those whose Christmas will not be so nice, please help GRIP revamp our care room.
We would like to ask a business or company to consider having a ‘working’ Christmas party by helping us to redecorate the two victim-friendly rooms by painting the walls, laying new tiles, and donating new second-hand furniture and toys for the children to play with,” she said.
