| A happy healthy life in a spruced up sparkling home |
 Girls and Boys Town is the only chance that many young people will have for a new beginning, the chance to experience what warm, caring family-style living environments look and feel like.
Creating a happy, healthy home for our youth is thus the best gift we can give them, because our residential centres are the only home that they’ll know for a while … and maintaining good standards of care for struggling children is a challenge; more so when it’s not just one home, but eight residences around the country.
Your loyal support will make a difference to the spaces that surround our youth while they live, learn and heal with us.
This is a new decade and a new opportunity for us, with your help, to refresh, upgrade and spruce up
the living spaces for all of our children! Especially important considering that wear and tear is an inevitable result of time and use, especially the ‘life’
of carpets, furniture and other household items. But our girls and boys never complain about having to ‘make do’ or their lack of choice.
Your investment will ensure that we give youngsters this opportunity - and ensure that they are able to continue saying: "I am proud to say that I AM YOUR PROFIT" (a Girls and Boys Town youth).
Any contribution you make now will also have tax benefits for you:
You can claim back up to 10% of your taxable income against a financial gift to Girls and Boys Town and we will issue you with the required income tax receipt. |
As one of our youngsters said, “You and your donations help to shape our future.” Thank you for giving them the opportunities and home they deserve and for showing them that every young person is a somebody.
Yours sincerely,
LEE LOYNES

Message from our Chief Executive Officer
In a few months’ time, our mayors and councilors will hand over to the next generation of bright young achievers – a tribute to the miraculous growth that happens in Girls and Boys Town.
Thanks to your generous support, challenged youth who have never before been given the chance to shine, suddenly find their feet in the world and are able to turn their lives around.
That’s why I love sharing the uplifting news from all divisions of our Girls and Boys Town family with you – because you’ve been part of this journey. All of your support is fed into our youth through patience, love, care, encouragement and motivation.
You and I get to see them grow into mature, responsible and loving young adults. And not only that, but we’re responsible for their family’s healing too.
Girls and Boys Town’s work allows youngsters the chance for a new beginning. And we could never do it alone. Thank you for your kind and caring support. You give our boys and girls the chance to change their lives and take control of their futures.
We hope that each one of you was blessed through this festive season and that 2010 brings you joy, happiness and achievement.
Yours sincerely,
LEE LOYNES
Chief Executive Officer
