Dec 08 Liam's Update!
Liam Jacobson's Miracle has created a new view of Christmas for over 200 people. An 11 year old boys amazing vision came to fruition in December when Liam used half his $1000 prize money from a "Turn on the Lights at Sylvia Park" Classic Hits Radio Competition and started the ball rolling on a huge collection. Liam ended up with 116 Toiletry Bags filled for the Auckland City Mission and 118 Bags filled for the South Auckland Womens Refuge. Liam purchased the bags and with donations from people through this website, through friends, the Manurewa Squash Club and other connections Liam filled the bags and delivered them in time for Christmas. Well Done Liam, A HUGE effort and just amazing. Thanks for letting us be a part of it!

Nov 08. How's this for a Miracle Worker? Liam is 11 years old. Watch this space...
Hi Deb,
Liam recently won a competition on the radio to help Santa turn the Christmas tree lights on at Sylvia Park. In addition he won a $1,000 shopping spree. Liam is going to spend half the money on the Auckland City Mission shelter, who provide short term accommodation for the homeless, and the Women’s Refuge.
Liam is purchasing toilet bags and to help the money go further is asking friends and acquaintances to donate the toiletries to fill them.
Why the City Mission? Liam was doing Danish lessons across the road from the mission and saw the homeless queueing up for food and shelter and hasn’t forgotten it. The women’s refuge, we all know, has increases in demand at this time of the year and often the women and children turning up there have nothing at all with them. Something as simple as a toilet bag is a thankful gift.
And that’s where you come into the story. With all your contacts and your desire to help other people, Liam is wondering if you can put something on your website asking people to donate a bar of soap, a tube of toothpaste, a toothbrush, a flannel, or any basic toiletry item.
I have attached a copy of the article from the classic hits website (www.classichits.co.nz then select breakfast team) He has also asked people at the squash club to assist.
Please let us know if you need anymore info or if there is anything you can do to help him.
Thanks Karen and Liam.
