Speaker 1: Christian know Connell's show podcast.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much to everyone who's continued to donate
Speaker 3: so generously since the end of yesterday's show. If you
Speaker 3: don't know what we're talking about, yesterday morning, I said
Speaker 3: how we really needed your help, and I felt bad
Speaker 3: asking for that help because the reason why this amazing charity,
Speaker 3: Backpacks of It Kids, are struggling this year to raise
Speaker 3: the money they need. They are I mainly on donations
Speaker 3: and volunteers. They are called Backpacks of It Kids, and
Speaker 3: all the children that are placed in protective care for
Speaker 3: their welfare and safety, they give them a little backpack.
Speaker 3: And this Christmas they're trying to get these center packs
Speaker 3: and each one costs them about thirty five dollars to
Speaker 3: put together. The thing is, if they don't get these
Speaker 3: Canti packs out to the kids, which is going to
Speaker 3: be around six thousand, Sally, this Christmas won't be at
Speaker 3: home with their families. We'll be in foster homes and
Speaker 3: places like that. They don't get any Christmas present, and
Speaker 3: they charity backpacks of it kids. Sally, who works for
Speaker 3: them and runs this place with their amazing team, she
Speaker 3: called me Wednesday night and they'd actually run out of
Speaker 3: money and she was desperate. She didn't know what to do.
Speaker 3: So yesterday morning we had nothing and this morning I'm
Speaker 3: in awe. It's almost ninety seven thousand dollars that you
Speaker 3: guys have raised, and I'm on the page right now.
Speaker 3: If you go to the Christian o'connellshow dot com dot
Speaker 3: au you can find out more on where you donate there.
Speaker 3: There's even one of our listeners who listens to a
Speaker 3: podcast in Germany who's paid for a couple of these
Speaker 3: Santa Give packs, James Tyler, which is just amazing. So
Speaker 3: to everyone who's giving, this means a huge amount. I
Speaker 3: think it means as about two and a half thousand
Speaker 3: children who will get a Christmas present this year that
Speaker 3: weren't going to get one just yesterday. Yeah.
Speaker 4: At the current amount raised at ninety four hundred seventy
Speaker 4: nine dollars, we've paid for twenty seven hundred and fifty
Speaker 4: six of the center backs.
Speaker 3: So please keep it going. Whatever you can give, where
Speaker 3: it's thirty dollars twenty dollars, head to The Christian O'Connell
Speaker 3: show dot com dot au. Leave your name in the
Speaker 3: message as well, and any message will say because we're
Speaker 3: reading those out this morning and thank you. So please

Speaker 3: have a nice one, enjoy your weekend in Tasi.
Speaker 12: Thank you, cheers later.
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Christian o'cyl show podcast.
Speaker 3: This time yesterday morning, I was wondering how would we do?
Speaker 3: How much money we could race for back packs of
Speaker 3: it kids? And I was mostly wired about not getting
Speaker 3: the money that these poor children of Melbourne, and that
Speaker 3: Sally and a volunteers backpack for IT kids who just
Speaker 3: run out of money. How much we could get. When
Speaker 3: she called me Wednesday, night out of the blue, she
Speaker 3: runs us. She's part of this amazing charity that one
Speaker 3: of you told us about about three years call called
Speaker 3: Backpacks of It Kids, and sadly a children that are
Speaker 3: placed into care for their safety and wellness. They give
Speaker 3: them a simple backpack to make them feel a bit
Speaker 3: less alone. They put a few things in there, and
Speaker 3: this year they're trying to do a smaller little backpacker
Speaker 3: center pack. Basically it's a Christmas present and I didn't
Speaker 3: realize how high the numbers are. You're talking about five
Speaker 3: to six thousand children this year who may go without
Speaker 3: a Christmas present, who are in foster care all over Melbourne,
Speaker 3: and Backpacks of It Kids have managed to get about
Speaker 3: sixteen hundred of the around it's going to be five
Speaker 3: to six thousand kids who, if we can't raise the money,
Speaker 3: won't get a simple Christmas present this year. It actually
Speaker 3: breaks your heart when you think about a kid is
Speaker 3: already goodness lies what they've been through and now is
Speaker 3: in care for their safekeeping and there's nothing under the
Speaker 3: Christmas tree, not one single present. So blessed Sally and
Speaker 3: a team that actually try and do this, so they
Speaker 3: just run out of money and they've got to about
Speaker 3: sixteen hundred. So yesterday morning at eight o'clock, we were
Speaker 3: asking whatever you could give. Each little Santa pat they
Speaker 3: call them, cost thirty five dollars, and so we were
Speaker 3: just hoping that we could raise a couple of thousand DeMarce.
Speaker 3: We set a target that during Patsy's news yesterday, Jack
Speaker 3: and I thought was actually wildly optimistic at thirty five thousand,
Speaker 3: because the reason why they've run out of money is
Speaker 3: simply because people aren't donating so much this year. Everybody's
Speaker 3: wired about the high interest rates going up. You're looking
Speaker 3: after your own families. It is a couple of weeks
Speaker 3: away from Christmas, you've got summer holidays going on. This
Speaker 3: city's really suffered, you know, coming out of COVID. There's
Speaker 3: like another pandemic. A lot of people that haven't been
Speaker 3: able to get onto save financial ground are really really struggling.
Speaker 3: Some families are way beyond struggling right now, so they're
Speaker 3: not getting their donations. And so we didn't know how
Speaker 3: much money you could give. It's not that you'd want to,
Speaker 3: it's actually could give. So this morning to be looking
Speaker 3: at it, and it's a I can't actually believe in
Speaker 3: saying this. Ninety seven thousand, five hundred and forty nine
Speaker 3: dollars is unbelievable.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's two thousand, seven hundred and eighty seven of
Speaker 4: those center packs.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so over two in our thousand children will get
Speaker 3: Christmas this year thanks to your generosity. So I hope
Speaker 3: you can still donate if you are able to Thank
Speaker 3: you very much, head to the Christian o'connells show dot
Speaker 3: com dot au tononate and find out more. Every thirty
Speaker 3: five dollars is another present for a kid. I'd really
Speaker 3: love us to be able to get to one hundred
Speaker 3: and seventy five thousand. Now it seems like a steep target.
Speaker 3: The reason is that would mean five thousand kids getting presents,
Speaker 3: and that would hopefully be almost enough. That's selling our
Speaker 3: charity need. In the new year. There might be some money,
Speaker 3: might be some money left over, but the money doesn't
Speaker 3: just the money doesn't get top back up. They have
Speaker 3: to start again fundraising. But the big thing they want
Speaker 3: are those Christmas presents. So if we can get to
Speaker 3: by Monday one hundred and seventy five thousand, it'll be amazing.
Speaker 3: You've done almost one hundred thousand in almost twenty four hours.
Speaker 3: I really think it'd be amazing if we could do that.
Speaker 3: So just some thank you as you go on the
Speaker 3: page heads of The Christian O'Connell Show dot com dot au,
Speaker 3: leave a little message. We are going to be reading
Speaker 3: out all your messages and saying thank you as well.

Speaker 3: the guy yesterday who was kind of to buy two
Speaker 3: of these packs, but also take the time to let

Speaker 10: Well, we lived in a small country town in rural Victoria,
Speaker 10: and when the circus came to town, the lion got loose.
Speaker 3: So what happened?
Speaker 10: Well, I think he was a bit grumpy and my
Speaker 10: dad was president of the Lions Club at that time,
Speaker 10: back in the mid seventies, and he was asked to
Speaker 10: step into the lion's cage. So I don't know if
Speaker 10: he made the lion grumpy or he was just a
Speaker 10: bit off centered, but yeah, he got loose when they
Speaker 10: were taking him back to his trailers. So he was
Speaker 10: reigning the town and nobody knew where he was for
Speaker 10: a while.
Speaker 3: How do you miss a bloody great line? I mean,
Speaker 3: surely it just goes. There's areas where there is no line.
Speaker 3: Then suddenly there is a massive, grumpy looking line who's hungry.
Speaker 10: Yes, indeed, but they eventually found him. We were all
Speaker 10: asked to stay in the big.
Speaker 6: Top and not.
Speaker 3: Oh. I would have loved to have heard that great
Speaker 3: tannl announcements of our time. Everyone, please stay in the
Speaker 3: big Top. We can't find the lion.

Speaker 4: Let's give it to Nan.
Speaker 3: Well done.
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Christiano Carl Show podcast.
Speaker 3: So since saying yesterday more and then, so many of
Speaker 3: you been pledging whatever you can today and whatever you
Speaker 3: can for every twenty thirty dollars. It is all added up.
Speaker 3: Literally thousands of you have responded when I told you
Speaker 3: the alarmingly high numbers yesterday how many kids are going
Speaker 3: to be placed into care over the next couple of days.
Speaker 3: I don't think any of us really know just how
Speaker 3: high the numbers are. I got a phone call from Sally,
Speaker 3: who's run the amazing team. But she runs an amazing
Speaker 3: team of amazing volunteers that do a lot of incredible
Speaker 3: work that none of us even really know about. And
Speaker 3: I appreciate that lots of other small little charities like hers,
Speaker 3: who live at hand to mouth existence to align on
Speaker 3: donations and this year, because of just everyone's feeling it
Speaker 3: you know, it's the high cost of lipping higher interest rates,
Speaker 3: and the city that got really smashed with all the lockdowns,
Speaker 3: and many many families haven't fully recovered, just aren't able
Speaker 3: to through no fort their owns. So it means that
Speaker 3: basically charities like Backpacks of It kids are struggling to
Speaker 3: get donations. And Wednesday night Sally called me and she
Speaker 3: was awkward, she was embarrassed, she did not be asking
Speaker 3: about but she didn't have anywhere else to go. They
Speaker 3: need money, they'd run out of money. So since a
Speaker 3: situation they were in, they want to get each child
Speaker 3: that's going to be in care and is between sadly
Speaker 3: five to six thousand, they wanted to give each one
Speaker 3: of them what they call a Canta pack. It cost
Speaker 3: just thirty five dollars and it's got gift in there
Speaker 3: for these kids. If they don't raise the money, those
Speaker 3: kids are going to be in the situation. It's barely
Speaker 3: believable to say that in a city like this are
Speaker 3: not going to get a simple gift this Christmas. It's heartbreaking.
Speaker 3: So yesterday we asked could you give anything? And I
Speaker 3: was hoping that we might with your generosity raise a
Speaker 3: thirty five thousand, which means that a thousand children will
Speaker 3: get a present Jack. What is the target right now?
Speaker 4: Current total in twenty four hours is one hundred and
Speaker 4: eight eight hundred and ninety five dollars, which equals out
Speaker 4: to three thy one hundred and four of the center packs.
Speaker 3: This is unbelievable, honest See yesterday I didn't know what
Speaker 3: we'd get because I know a lot of you are
Speaker 3: those people that are talking about are having a tough
Speaker 3: time at the moment. So every single ten to twenty
Speaker 3: thirty dollars is unbelievable. I can't believe you've raised that much.
Speaker 3: Before we get Sally on from the charity. I just
Speaker 3: want to say huge thank you. Sometimes thank you as
Speaker 3: an overused word, but it's actually humbling for us on
Speaker 3: the show. I was so worried yesterday morning before I
Speaker 3: even said anything. I didn't want to be asking you
Speaker 3: for money before Christmas. We tried to raise them some
Speaker 3: money two months ago. It's while we did the live show.
Speaker 3: Was try and raise money so that we gave you something.
Speaker 3: But it's unbelievable. The generosity that you've given to the
Speaker 3: children of Melbourne is a real gift and we're getting
Speaker 3: these lovely messages. I hope over the weekend we can
Speaker 3: continue to raise money for these kids. Cameron Johnson, our
Speaker 3: twelve year old son has adopted. We couldn't love him anymore.
Speaker 3: We helpe one day understands how lucky he's actually been,
Speaker 3: as he potentially could have been one of those numbers, Christian.
Speaker 3: The numbers under care and or department orders an intervention
Speaker 3: are nothing but horrifying. The smile this pat could bring
Speaker 3: his prices, Cameron, and so many of your messages, thank
Speaker 3: you very very much, and let's get Sally on here. Sally, Hey,
Speaker 3: Sally morning, Christian, Hey Sonny, you must be just you
Speaker 3: and your team must be just in awe of how
Speaker 3: much money people have given.
Speaker 8: Absolutely on Wednesday afternoon, our team, we're all into is
Speaker 8: thinking there's just no way we're going to be able
Speaker 8: to respond to the orders that we had that day,
Speaker 8: and we're trying to work out, well, who's going to
Speaker 8: get gifts and who isn't because we simply can't.
Speaker 3: And now.
Speaker 8: Now we can, we can meet all of the requests
Speaker 8: that we receive, and it's just absolutely amazing.
Speaker 3: Well, I've got some extra good news, so Jackie boy,
Speaker 3: what did you say the money was at the moment?
Speaker 3: What's the grand total? And fifty's gone up to one
Speaker 3: hundred and nine just now, just while we're talking now, well,
Speaker 3: someone has actually just messaged me Adrian Rocky's won the
Speaker 3: directors at a Chemist's warehouse and he's going to donate personally.
Speaker 3: This is from him, not Chemis's warehouse. He wants to
Speaker 3: donate fifty two and a half thousand. He wants to
Speaker 3: personally pay for him and his family for fifteen hundred
Speaker 3: children to have a present, which is Agent Rocki at
Speaker 3: Chemists Warehouse. Thank you very much. That's a personal donation
Speaker 3: from Adrian, he messaged me ten minutes ago. What does
Speaker 3: that take us up to job?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 3: Goosebumps?
Speaker 4: So that takes us to a total of one hundred
Speaker 4: and sixty one, eight hundred and eighty five thousand dollars,
Speaker 4: over four thousand and six hundred of the Santa Pax
Speaker 4: four six hundred and twenty five.
Speaker 8: Just to go from nothing to that in two days
Speaker 8: is absolutely incredible. One just so very grateful to all
Speaker 8: the listeners as one or four point three who have
Speaker 8: literally saved Christmas for thousands of local kids. I can't speak.
Speaker 8: I just want to share. We've just had a grandma
Speaker 8: who is kinship care of four to grandchildren. There are
Speaker 8: one from one family and three from another family, so
Speaker 8: they'se four cousins who live with her and she had
Speaker 8: to quit work to look after them and provide a safe,
Speaker 8: caring home. And she came to pick up the gifts
Speaker 8: and I said, what does this actually mean to you?
Speaker 8: It just you know, it's just a few small gifts
Speaker 8: of looking a soft toy. And she said, well, this
Speaker 8: means this is I don't have to worry about Christmas. Now,
Speaker 8: I can go ahead and organize an activity that we
Speaker 8: can do together, and I can be with the kids.
Speaker 8: To be able to reach now and give to so
Speaker 8: many children who literally would not be receiving anything at
Speaker 8: all is amazing.
Speaker 3: I tell her, it's amazing, right. The reason why there's
Speaker 3: been so much money raised is because of you, Sally
Speaker 3: and this charity. Because actually, if we don't know about
Speaker 3: what you do, and you don't actually tell us about it,
Speaker 3: because a lot of the work you do, none of
Speaker 3: us know anything about it. It's amazing. People just carry
Speaker 3: on that it's not about them, but they don't shout
Speaker 3: about it. We don't know and about it. I could
Speaker 3: tell when he calls called me Wednesday night. You were reluctant,
Speaker 3: you were you were embarrassed, but you didn't have anything.
Speaker 3: You were trying probably everything anybody who could try and help.
Speaker 3: And the only reason all these people have donated is
Speaker 3: because of the work you do telling people like us
Speaker 3: about it that there's so many kids who are going
Speaker 3: to be taken into care that actually won't just get
Speaker 3: a Christmas present this year, and all the work you've
Speaker 3: been doing over the last couple of years. People want
Speaker 3: to help you, to help these children.
Speaker 8: It's really overwhelming for me. I never never planned to
Speaker 8: build a charity this big. I never I never thought
Speaker 8: that there would be so much need and so many requests,
Speaker 8: And in our crisis packs, we've got over seven hundred
Speaker 8: of those on order. At the moment, we're just trying
Speaker 8: to keep doing, just trying to keep doing and doing
Speaker 8: and doing that shout out and finding people to come
Speaker 8: on board and help us is actually really really hard.
Speaker 8: It's the hardest part of it all. Actually, for you
Speaker 8: to provide this help and support is really incredible.
Speaker 3: Oh well, everyone, I'm speaking about everyone who's donated money.
Speaker 3: Everyone is in awe of you and your team, and
Speaker 3: I really really hope that the next couple of months
Speaker 3: that actually you get in a position where but someone
Speaker 3: finds out about you guys who's got a lot of
Speaker 3: money and wants to invest it to set you guys
Speaker 3: up properly so you're not in this situation every couple
Speaker 3: of months where you can really build something of lasting
Speaker 3: value to the children that you're trying to help. The
Speaker 3: children in need of Melbourne.
Speaker 8: Oh, that would be incredible, because I'm not stopping this
Speaker 8: and we'll keep going for as long as I possible.
Speaker 3: Weekend, Well, thank you, honestly, by half, all those poor kids.
Speaker 3: We've got no idea how scary it must have been
Speaker 3: in that situation where you need to actually be rescued
Speaker 3: from an environment, your home, which is supposed to be
Speaker 3: safely in a loving environment, and how scared they must be,
Speaker 3: and then just getting some small gift let them know
Speaker 3: that some people somewhere actually care about them and they
Speaker 3: do matter. That is It's an amazingly beautiful, simple thing
Speaker 3: that you guys do.
Speaker 8: So thank you, thank you, thank you to everybody, thanks
Speaker 8: for your support for feeling in love thank you.
Speaker 3: I hope you are. Yeah, we all are in awe
Speaker 3: of the work you do for those poor kids. So Sally,
Speaker 3: I wish you all the best. We catch up again Monday.
Speaker 3: I like you probably be hitting refresh every single out
Speaker 3: like I was yesterday, looking at probably been reading all
Speaker 3: the messages like we how from people as far away
Speaker 3: as Germany all over the world who are supporting this
Speaker 3: and are being moved by these children, are trying to
Speaker 3: get them a Christmas present this year. It's an amazing
Speaker 3: thing to be part of. But it's all been generated
Speaker 3: by you and your team, So all of you volunteers,
Speaker 3: thank you very much for this vital work that you do.
Speaker 3: I wish it wasn't so needed, but it is, and
Speaker 3: thank you.
Speaker 8: Thank you Christian, thanks so very buddy.
Speaker 3: All Right, Sally, thank you very much for what you do.
Speaker 3: Everybody who's donating, thank you very very very much. We'll
Speaker 3: be back Monday, and I'd love to really get Sally
Speaker 3: back on Monday. Just say it's one hundred and seventy
Speaker 3: five thousand. What that means that target, It means five
Speaker 3: thousand children will get a Christmas present. If we can
Speaker 3: be part of that, then I think We've done something
Speaker 3: pretty special with Sally this year. If you can help,
Speaker 3: thank you very much, head to the Christian o'connells Show
Speaker 3: dot com dot au. We'll be back Monday.
