Hearts of Toti’s Alta Erasmus said that this year, the NPO would like to make Christmas special for the children and the families it supports. The children, whose ages range from under a year old to 18-years-old, each have a modest wish list.

“The day will be one filled with love, laughter and fun, but we cannot do it without your help. For most of these children, this will be the only present they receive. We try to make the day as special as possible. Father Christmas himself hands out gifts,” said Erasmus. They will also be handing out around 70 Christmas hampers.

She thanked those who have sponsored some of the items.

If you would like to sponsor a child’s wishlist or donate sweets, biscuits, juices or cupcakes, WhatsApp Erasmus on 072 801 0747. All gifts and donations can be dropped off no later than December 16.
