The only thing holding him back from running the school cross-country was not having sneakers.
Thanks to the Nike shoes, Mark was able to lace up & participate in cross-country.

Flood assistance
We were privileged to distribute Bath Mats and cleaning cloths to properties that had been impacted by the devastating floods earlier in the year. Everyone that we offered a Bath Mat to very quickly said ‘Yes Please!’ Cleaning clothes were a great bonus to have as well.
Keeping on track with Optus
We were able to help Diana* who was fleeing DV with three children living in their car, she responded with the following:
“Thank you for the Optus 360 SIM card. I was attacked and robbed and had my ID taken and now I can use the phone to organise things and get me and my kids life back on track.”
Easter Treasure Hunt to Remember!
“There was a real buzz around the campsite as children raced to find the items and collect their prize. Warm thanks to Good360 for helping us make this year’s Easter Treasure hunt a little more special for everyone involved. ” Jacinta (IOE Family Support Programs Coordinator)
Giving Kids a Special Christmas
It was so wonderful to be able to provide our clients- mostly mums and their kids, with Christmas presents including these marvellous items! The addition of hair care items, kids accessories and novelty items made the packages really special and were so very appreciated!
One Step at a Time: Restoring Dignity Through the Gift of Shoes
“When I was homeless, having a decent pair of shoes meant everything. It wasn’t just about comfort — it gave me a sense of dignity and made walking to appointments or job interviews possible. It made me feel human again.” — Marcus*, shoe recipient
Keeping Engaged
Clients who got access to SIM cards were grateful for the offer and used the cards to stay in contact with our service while their health care needs were addressed.
*John
Without the sim and phone I had no way to reach QuIHN. I just got out of prison and needed the help, without it I had no way to talk to the team – thankyou
*Kim
Thankyou for the sim and phone, getting this for me while I went through treatment was awesome and helped me stay in contact.
Christmas 2024
Oh my goodness ‘Doin for Aussie Rural Kids’, you sure have some excited kids here in West Wyalong! You guys are amazing, we are blown away by your generosity. You have put some big smiles on these kids faces, as they have had a pretty crappy time lately with me being in hospital since August. After 128 days in Sydney, (most of those in St Vincent’s hospital), we got the go ahead on Saturday from the doctors to go home to West Wyalong for Christmas. Lots of stars needed to align for it to happen, and thankfully they did. Back to hospital for me next week, but that’s ok, being with the family today is special. The presents are just wonderful, you have nailed each kid perfectly. Thank you all so much, I can only imagine how much time and effort went into all that shopping and wrapping, but we appreciate every little bit. People like you guys and the kindness shown, really make a difference to families like us. In what has been a difficult year, support like this helps us all to smile and carry on, plus you have saved me so much time and worry with trying to do the Christmas shopping from my hospital bed. As well as all this, you have shown these little kids that there are kind people out there who will support others when times are tough. I am sure they will remember this forever and hopefully be kind to others throughout their lives. You guys really do spread so much love and positivity, the world needs more people like you all. We always say what goes around, comes around, I really think you all deserve a whole lot of love and happiness coming your way. Thank you again for your support and generosity, you sure have added an extra bit of sparkle to us all this Christmas, and put some huge smiles on these kids’ faces. All the best to you and your family for a beautiful Christmas and a special 2024. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help your organisation in the future. What a wonderful idea. Lots of love from Sheridan.
Wet Ones distributed to households who are financially disadvantaged
These Wet Ones are so helpful for cleaning around the house – the wet weather in Kyogle since Cyclone Alfred has meant that mold seems to grown on many surfaces in the home and the car. These Wet Ones are perfect for cleaning and disinfecting hard surfaces. This reduces all the mould-related illnesses that are affecting us.
