Two Doreen mothers have launched a “donate to order”
charity to help struggling families in the city of Whittlesea.
They
accept wish lists from families via charities and fill them through
their social-media network.
Belinda Hume and Jo Hutchinson, mothers of two toddlers each, have helped dozens of families since they started the “Raising Mum Network Helping Hands” in June.
“These are families in real need who can’t afford to buy goods at
the op shop,” Hume says. “We have filled requests for quality goods like
prams, toys, clothes for toddlers and babies and more – and we only
give goods we would use ourselves.”
