The Big Favour: Help Isiaiah 54 Children's Sanctuary complete their wish list

Loading player...
Keri Miller was recently scrolling through Facebook when she came across a post that pulled at her heartstrings - and had her eyes filling up with tears.

"A little girl, who has to be kept anonymous for her own protection, might not know it just yet, but she has already touched so many hearts and we want to do everything we can to help her, and Isiaiah 54, which has been home to many.

We can't think of a better candidate for our first Big Favour of the year.

I was able to sit down and talk to Glynnis Dauth, who is the primary caregiver at Isiaiah 54, and asked her to share as much of this girl's story as she was able to.

Glynnis also shared that the girl had made a small list of things she would love for her birthday, which came down to a few basic necessities. No extravagant requests, no elaborate list of things or toys she would want, but she is truly just asking for the things she needs."

While talking to Glynnis, I asked her to share with us a list of everything the house could need or are in dire need of, so take a listen and see if there might be something you can lend a hand with or contribute.
