The plight of the children and families from Kirsty’s beloved Liverpool area in Western Sydney touched many, including Angela Cerasani from BIG W who enlisted the help of the team at Woolworths Group.
“Watching Kirsty’s heartbreaking video really did tug at my heartstrings,” says Angela, who is BIG W’s product quality support specialist and has an eight-year-old daughter and 15-year-old son of her own.
She immediately swung into action and asked each commercial team what they could donate, and BIG W was able to donate $3000 worth of new toys and an additional $15,000 worth of clothes and homewares.
“It’s all about supporting the local community. It absolutely made me feel good and made me think this is what life is all about,helping one another and showing gratitude and kindness.
