Can you help someone who is lonely this Christmas?
With Christmas just around the corner, imagine facing it alone, with only memories for company. This is the reality for many who will spend this time in solitude - many of whom are also in the final stages of life.
Your support will help bring joy and connection for vulnerable people like Garry this Christmas.
Bringing light into Garry’s life
As Christmas nears, the HammondCare Foundation invites you to help bring joy and connection to thousands of people battling loneliness.
Struggling with multiple health conditions and chronic pain, Garry has limited mobility and little family contact. Garry rarely leaves the house and has little connection with the outside world.
Thanks to Alan, a HammondCare Volunteer, Garry now has companionship which provides him a “lifeline”. Alan’s regular visits brighten Garry’s week as they share friendship, a common love of music, faith and laughter.
HammondCare’s 800 volunteers offer incredible support to thousands like Garry, but there is an ever-increasing need. This Christmas, your donation could help bring the warmth of human connection and make a difference to those who need it most
