Kids in Need Waikato

About

Kids in Need Waikato is a Not For Profit set up by Linda Roil in 2017 to help kids with little or no belongings. By nature these tend to be Foster Children

Story

Kids in need was founded by Linda Roil in 2017.

Linda collects donations of quality pre-loved clothes and toys and re-gifts them to Kids in need in the Waikato.

The packs she puts together mainly go to foster kids who have been uplifted from their home (often with no warning) or kids who are moved from one carer to another because they are so damaged. These kids are scared, lonely and often unwanted.

Foster Carers take these kids in because they want to help. Because they have big hearts. Having a child turn up with a rubbish bag that holds their only belongings, or with nothing at all, is devastating - Linda know from experience, a carer isn’t doing it for the money.

Linda has been overwhelmed by the support of the community and couldn’t do what she is doing without it.

If you have anything you'd like to donate, or are a carer needing help, please get in touch with us today.

"Kids in Need Waikato provide care packs for children in care aged 0-17 years, personalised to meet each child's needs.It's about making a difficult time, just a little bit easier with a gift that has been thoughtfully put together by volunteers from products donated by the local community."
