Mercy and Grace Ministries came with the biggest rainbow cake a child could ask for and lots of party food. We could not believe the generosity and happiness...it also made me so grateful to see my daughter so joyful when I was not able to give as much. Our beautiful delivery angel has been the most amazing support throughout my journey dealing with difficulties after leaving an undesirable marriage - always putting a smile on all our faces!

A young teenage man who had just moved into a little place, working on his first job, didn't have enough money for food, was hungry and exhausted was given a huge box of food. The Food Box was filled by one of our volunteers as she said "I packed the box as if I was feeding my teenage son" with goodies, energy drinks, chippies, cereal and long life milk, fruit and vege's, bread rolls, lettuce and tomatoes, meats, to make his lunches. The Lady who was helping him sent through "He passes on a huge thank you he says he is feeding up like its Christmas and is feeling so happy!!"

Through a Local Community Group an Emergency Box was needed for a Family. The beautiful mum had written a shopping list in faith hoping it would be provided...and all in the Mercy and Grace Ministries box was what they needed including Eggs!!
Family
A young lady had a birthday and had only received a little vase from her beautiful friend, we were unaware of this but felt to put in her family box a beautiful bunch of flowers and a bra we were given by one of our supporting Supermarkets. When our beautiful Lady Volunteer delivered to her, she cried as she now had some flowers to put into her vase in her room, and it was her first bra. Many happy tears - amazing blessing!
