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.

A year without a mattress
“This mattress will make so much difference, I can get a good nights sleep and be ready for work the next day.”
“I was sleeping on the floor, before I was lucky enough to get a mattress, thank you so much.”
“This is the first time I have slept on a mattress in a year, I was sleeping in my car.”

Bridging the Digital Divide for Young Adults
“I’ve seen firsthand how tough the transition can be for those aging out of the system. When you’ve spent your life without the stability that many others take for granted—things like a home, a consistent support system, or the resources to reach your potential—the challenges are immense. The ripple effect that a single piece of technology can have is far-reaching. With it, a person can access online learning, apply for jobs, connect with mentors, and discover new possibilities. It’s the start of something new—an opportunity for them to rewrite their own story.
In the end, providing a laptop isn’t just about giving someone a device—it’s about giving them a chance. Helping others reach their full potential and navigate the path toward a brighter future is a gift to me”

Bringing Joy Through Play with Good360
The Playdough has sparked endless creativity, with children moulding and shaping the childrens ideas into reality. The Mr. Potato Head sets have encouraged emotional story teling, communication, and laughter as children design quirky characters and share their creations with friends, using the Mr Potato head toys to act out scenes from books and nursery rhymes. Meanwhile, the Peppa Pig toys, featuring a beloved character, have provided a sense of comfort and familiarity, fostering rich storytelling and social interactions amongst younger children.
Making an Impact Through Fun and Games
“Our team is excited to receive these toys for the families we support! Play is such an important part of a child’s development, and it’s fantastic to see a diverse range of dolls and games that help build imagination, social skills, and confidence.” – Annaley
Stepping In for the Health of Children’s Feet
“I recently worked with a family where a 2-year-old and a 3-year-old put on their new shoes right away. They couldn’t wait to stomp around the room with joy, and it was a beautiful reminder of how something as simple as a well-fitting pair of shoes can bring so much happiness and confidence to a child.” – Sofie, KICS Support Worker
Fighting Hygiene Poverty
“It’s heartwarming to see how these essential items make a real difference in the lives of the families we support. Every little bit counts, and knowing that we can provide something as simple as cleaning supplies helps restore dignity and improve their daily lives. We’re grateful for the generosity of Good360 and their donors.” – Jess, Senior Practitioner KICS IFS
Brighter holidays for Gippsland children.
Many of the families we assist at Christmas time are facing huge financial strain and we are able to assist them with providing gifts for the Children to help ease a bit of that. We have received wonderful feedback, and it can really make a difference.
