Assistance for Pakistani Mother-to- Be.

Members of the St Vincent de Paul Society have been approached to assist a lady from Pakistan, the wife of an international postgraduate student. The lady is expecting a baby in September and because the family are living on a very small scholarship stipend, and have two older children, they do not have the funds to purchase baby furniture and other items needed for a newborn. If any family can assist with a cradle or cot, pram , baby capsule, either by gift or loan, please they contact Nick on 0422 474 785 or take the items to St Vincent de Paul in Rusden Street indicating that the items are for the Pakistani family.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
