Speaker 1 (09:18):
Christian know Connell's show podcast.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
Thank you so much to everyone who's continued to donate
so generously since the end of yesterday's show. If you
don't know what we're talking about, yesterday morning, I said
how we really needed your help, and I felt bad
asking for that help because the reason why this amazing charity,
Backpacks of It Kids, are struggling this year to raise
the money they need. They are I mainly on donations

(09:44):
and volunteers. They are called Backpacks of It Kids, and
all the children that are placed in protective care for
their welfare and safety, they give them a little backpack.
And this Christmas they're trying to get these center packs
and each one costs them about thirty five dollars to
put together. The thing is, if they don't get these
Canti packs out to the kids, which is going to
be around six thousand, Sally, this Christmas won't be at

(10:05):
home with their families. We'll be in foster homes and
places like that. They don't get any Christmas present, and
they charity backpacks of it kids. Sally, who works for
them and runs this place with their amazing team, she
called me Wednesday night and they'd actually run out of
money and she was desperate. She didn't know what to do.
So yesterday morning we had nothing and this morning I'm
in awe. It's almost ninety seven thousand dollars that you

(10:28):
guys have raised, and I'm on the page right now.
If you go to the Christian o'connellshow dot com dot
au you can find out more on where you donate there.
There's even one of our listeners who listens to a
podcast in Germany who's paid for a couple of these
Santa Give packs, James Tyler, which is just amazing. So
to everyone who's giving, this means a huge amount. I

(10:49):
think it means as about two and a half thousand
children who will get a Christmas present this year that
weren't going to get one just yesterday. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (10:57):
At the current amount raised at ninety four hundred seventy
nine dollars, we've paid for twenty seven hundred and fifty
six of the center backs.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
So please keep it going. Whatever you can give, where
it's thirty dollars twenty dollars, head to The Christian O'Connell
show dot com dot au. Leave your name in the
message as well, and any message will say because we're
reading those out this morning and thank you. So please
keep it going because the more we can raise means
the more children that are going to have a Christmas
present this Christmas. The Christian O'Connell show dot com dot

(11:26):

of those virtual golfing booths and he's saying it's tracking
all your movements so we can change the clubs slightly
to improve your hitting. But I said, I haven't even

Speaker 12 (15:39):
Thank you, cheers later.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
You're listening to the Christian o'cyl show podcast.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
This time yesterday morning, I was wondering how would we do?
How much money we could race for back packs of
it kids? And I was mostly wired about not getting
the money that these poor children of Melbourne, and that
Sally and a volunteers backpack for IT kids who just
run out of money. How much we could get. When

(16:07):
she called me Wednesday, night out of the blue, she
runs us. She's part of this amazing charity that one
of you told us about about three years call called
Backpacks of It Kids, and sadly a children that are
placed into care for their safety and wellness. They give
them a simple backpack to make them feel a bit
less alone. They put a few things in there, and
this year they're trying to do a smaller little backpacker

(16:28):
center pack. Basically it's a Christmas present and I didn't
realize how high the numbers are. You're talking about five
to six thousand children this year who may go without
a Christmas present, who are in foster care all over Melbourne,
and Backpacks of It Kids have managed to get about
sixteen hundred of the around it's going to be five
to six thousand kids who, if we can't raise the money,

(16:49):
won't get a simple Christmas present this year. It actually
breaks your heart when you think about a kid is
already goodness lies what they've been through and now is
in care for their safekeeping and there's nothing under the
Christmas tree, not one single present. So blessed Sally and
a team that actually try and do this, so they
just run out of money and they've got to about
sixteen hundred. So yesterday morning at eight o'clock, we were
asking whatever you could give. Each little Santa pat they

(17:11):
call them, cost thirty five dollars, and so we were
just hoping that we could raise a couple of thousand DeMarce.
We set a target that during Patsy's news yesterday, Jack
and I thought was actually wildly optimistic at thirty five thousand,
because the reason why they've run out of money is
simply because people aren't donating so much this year. Everybody's
wired about the high interest rates going up. You're looking
after your own families. It is a couple of weeks

(17:32):
away from Christmas, you've got summer holidays going on. This
city's really suffered, you know, coming out of COVID. There's
like another pandemic. A lot of people that haven't been
able to get onto save financial ground are really really struggling.
Some families are way beyond struggling right now, so they're
not getting their donations. And so we didn't know how
much money you could give. It's not that you'd want to,

(17:52):
it's actually could give. So this morning to be looking
at it, and it's a I can't actually believe in
saying this. Ninety seven thousand, five hundred and forty nine
dollars is unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (18:02):
Yeah, it's two thousand, seven hundred and eighty seven of
those center packs.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
Yeah, so over two in our thousand children will get
Christmas this year thanks to your generosity. So I hope
you can still donate if you are able to Thank
you very much, head to the Christian o'connells show dot
com dot au tononate and find out more. Every thirty
five dollars is another present for a kid. I'd really
love us to be able to get to one hundred
and seventy five thousand. Now it seems like a steep target.

(18:29):
The reason is that would mean five thousand kids getting presents,
and that would hopefully be almost enough. That's selling our
charity need. In the new year. There might be some money,
might be some money left over, but the money doesn't
just the money doesn't get top back up. They have
to start again fundraising. But the big thing they want
are those Christmas presents. So if we can get to
by Monday one hundred and seventy five thousand, it'll be amazing.

(18:51):
You've done almost one hundred thousand in almost twenty four hours.
I really think it'd be amazing if we could do that.
So just some thank you as you go on the
page heads of The Christian O'Connell Show dot com dot au,
leave a little message. We are going to be reading
out all your messages and saying thank you as well.
Thank you very much to Homer Simpson.

Speaker 4 (19:10):
That's lovely.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
Yeah, I know, I think you know some guy and
then he's kind of to actually buy two of those
Sounta packs, So thank you very much, Homer Simpson and
the guy yesterday who was kind of to buy two
of these packs, but also take the time to let
us know he doesn't particularly like children.

Speaker 4 (19:23):
That was such a funny mind.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
Got to put that on the record there, just to

I guess we are a cargo plane. We have live
animal horse on board the airplane and the horny managed
to escape this ball.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
What do they do? I mean, a bloody great horse
going nuts, just kicking and stamping and stuff like that.
What does does a plane get wonky and stuff like
that as it moves around and starts running and stuff
like that.

Speaker 6 (22:52):
I do believe we need at least error, Mary, and
I guess you call it?

Speaker 3 (23:00):
Did the banter, isn't he? And what do they do?
Are they going to fire him up to try and
land on the plane like Tom Cruise? They're going to
fire on the side there some vet with his little
vets bag trying to like shoot fire and blow out
into the horse through the window or something. What a
need the vet when they land? It's like they do.
They have them hanging around the airport along with the
fieries there they got vets as well. So this morning

Speaker 10 (26:05):
Good morning, Good morning, Christian and team.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
Good morning Sharon. What got loose?

Speaker 10 (26:12):
Well, we lived in a small country town in rural Victoria,
and when the circus came to town, the lion got loose.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
So what happened?

Speaker 10 (26:22):
Well, I think he was a bit grumpy and my
dad was president of the Lions Club at that time,
back in the mid seventies, and he was asked to
step into the lion's cage. So I don't know if
he made the lion grumpy or he was just a
bit off centered, but yeah, he got loose when they
were taking him back to his trailers. So he was
reigning the town and nobody knew where he was for

(26:43):
a while.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
How do you miss a bloody great line? I mean,
surely it just goes. There's areas where there is no line.
Then suddenly there is a massive, grumpy looking line who's hungry.

Speaker 10 (26:54):
Yes, indeed, but they eventually found him. We were all
asked to stay in the big.

Speaker 6 (26:58):
Top and not.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
Oh. I would have loved to have heard that great
tannl announcements of our time. Everyone, please stay in the
big Top. We can't find the lion.

Speaker 10 (27:12):
I don't know how long we were there that eventually
they found the line in the ladies toilets of the chake.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
I love the idea of the clowns and all, like
you know, trapeze artists, the ring master, all in their
hiding as well with you.

the car behind me. And when I drove into my
new property, I couldn't figure out why the remote control
the roller door wasn't working and going up and I
was swearing and cursing, and I couldn't figure out why
they were laughing because I was in the wrong property.

All right, last few Genius of the Week nominations. What
have you done this week? Tanya?

Speaker 9 (40:52):
I locked?

Speaker 12 (40:53):
Well, first of all, Christian, I have to be the
caller of the week because seriously, I locked a customer
in the sitting rooms at a large rootail stop or
and she had to call the store to get out.

Speaker 3 (41:03):
Oh my god, what a scene. So where do you work?

Speaker 12 (41:06):
Well, it's a very large retail store. I poblicly should
not name it because I've been waiting for the complaint
to come in.

Speaker 4 (41:13):
I didn't know you could lock them from the outside.
What's the point of this?

Speaker 3 (41:17):
Okay, so we're running a little prison there at kmart.
Wherever you work?

Speaker 12 (41:21):
Well, yeah, so we had to lock the door and
there's no customers. So when the customers come, we have
to unlock it and let them in. But I let
like three in and then I forgot about the last
one and locked it and went off because on lot
of the moneyers. God, and she was banging and screaming
like are.

Speaker 3 (41:37):
You what were you doing that you did?

Speaker 12 (41:39):
The commotion was early in the morning, and so she
had to call the store and say I'm locked in
your fitting room because somebody let me out.

Speaker 3 (41:45):
And to call any store now there's about an hour
long message where they go, just buger off and go
to a website and stop bothering.

Speaker 4 (41:51):
If you're locked in one of our stores, press for.

Speaker 3 (41:56):
All the options.

Speaker 12 (41:57):
Again, we don't enter our phones.

Speaker 3 (42:00):
Now tell me this that Why though, do you need
to lock the changing rooms when they're not being used because.

Speaker 12 (42:07):
People take stuff in there and steal it. You can
seal it, so we have to keep them locked all

the guy, the cleaner, he's been chasing. He's been using
a vacuum clean I've been running away. He kept coming

out my colleague lunch yesterday.

It was really heavy, so I just tossed it.

Speaker 7 (44:03):
And then she came in and said, where's my rats
that I made fresh chicken?

Speaker 3 (44:08):
It takes time to make a rat.

Speaker 7 (44:11):
And I tossed, so I had to share their lunch.

Speaker 3 (47:57):
Well done.

Speaker 1 (47:59):
You're listening to the Christiano Carl Show podcast.

Speaker 3 (48:02):
So since saying yesterday more and then, so many of
you been pledging whatever you can today and whatever you
can for every twenty thirty dollars. It is all added up.
Literally thousands of you have responded when I told you
the alarmingly high numbers yesterday how many kids are going
to be placed into care over the next couple of days.
I don't think any of us really know just how

(48:22):
high the numbers are. I got a phone call from Sally,
who's run the amazing team. But she runs an amazing
team of amazing volunteers that do a lot of incredible
work that none of us even really know about. And
I appreciate that lots of other small little charities like hers,
who live at hand to mouth existence to align on
donations and this year, because of just everyone's feeling it

(48:42):
you know, it's the high cost of lipping higher interest rates,
and the city that got really smashed with all the lockdowns,
and many many families haven't fully recovered, just aren't able
to through no fort their owns. So it means that
basically charities like Backpacks of It kids are struggling to
get donations. And Wednesday night Sally called me and she
was awkward, she was embarrassed, she did not be asking

(49:03):
about but she didn't have anywhere else to go. They
need money, they'd run out of money. So since a
situation they were in, they want to get each child
that's going to be in care and is between sadly
five to six thousand, they wanted to give each one
of them what they call a Canta pack. It cost
just thirty five dollars and it's got gift in there
for these kids. If they don't raise the money, those
kids are going to be in the situation. It's barely

(49:24):
believable to say that in a city like this are
not going to get a simple gift this Christmas. It's heartbreaking.
So yesterday we asked could you give anything? And I
was hoping that we might with your generosity raise a
thirty five thousand, which means that a thousand children will
get a present Jack. What is the target right now?

Speaker 4 (49:42):
Current total in twenty four hours is one hundred and
eight eight hundred and ninety five dollars, which equals out
to three thy one hundred and four of the center packs.

Speaker 3 (49:53):
This is unbelievable, honest See yesterday I didn't know what
we'd get because I know a lot of you are
those people that are talking about are having a tough
time at the moment. So every single ten to twenty
thirty dollars is unbelievable. I can't believe you've raised that much.
Before we get Sally on from the charity. I just
want to say huge thank you. Sometimes thank you as
an overused word, but it's actually humbling for us on

(50:13):
the show. I was so worried yesterday morning before I
even said anything. I didn't want to be asking you
for money before Christmas. We tried to raise them some
money two months ago. It's while we did the live show.
Was try and raise money so that we gave you something.
But it's unbelievable. The generosity that you've given to the
children of Melbourne is a real gift and we're getting
these lovely messages. I hope over the weekend we can

(50:35):
continue to raise money for these kids. Cameron Johnson, our
twelve year old son has adopted. We couldn't love him anymore.
We helpe one day understands how lucky he's actually been,
as he potentially could have been one of those numbers, Christian.
The numbers under care and or department orders an intervention
are nothing but horrifying. The smile this pat could bring
his prices, Cameron, and so many of your messages, thank
you very very much, and let's get Sally on here. Sally, Hey,

(50:58):
Sally morning, Christian, Hey Sonny, you must be just you
and your team must be just in awe of how
much money people have given.

Speaker 8 (51:09):
Absolutely on Wednesday afternoon, our team, we're all into is
thinking there's just no way we're going to be able
to respond to the orders that we had that day,
and we're trying to work out, well, who's going to
get gifts and who isn't because we simply can't.

Speaker 3 (51:23):
And now.

Speaker 8 (51:25):
Now we can, we can meet all of the requests
that we receive, and it's just absolutely amazing.

Speaker 3 (51:31):
Well, I've got some extra good news, so Jackie boy,
what did you say the money was at the moment?
What's the grand total? And fifty's gone up to one
hundred and nine just now, just while we're talking now, well,
someone has actually just messaged me Adrian Rocky's won the
directors at a Chemist's warehouse and he's going to donate personally.
This is from him, not Chemis's warehouse. He wants to

(51:54):
donate fifty two and a half thousand. He wants to
personally pay for him and his family for fifteen hundred
children to have a present, which is Agent Rocki at
Chemists Warehouse. Thank you very much. That's a personal donation
from Adrian, he messaged me ten minutes ago. What does
that take us up to job?

Speaker 1 (52:12):
What?

Speaker 3 (52:12):
Goosebumps?

Speaker 4 (52:13):
So that takes us to a total of one hundred
and sixty one, eight hundred and eighty five thousand dollars,
over four thousand and six hundred of the Santa Pax
four six hundred and twenty five.

Speaker 8 (52:27):
Just to go from nothing to that in two days
is absolutely incredible. One just so very grateful to all
the listeners as one or four point three who have
literally saved Christmas for thousands of local kids. I can't speak.

(52:48):
I just want to share. We've just had a grandma
who is kinship care of four to grandchildren. There are
one from one family and three from another family, so
they'se four cousins who live with her and she had
to quit work to look after them and provide a safe,
caring home. And she came to pick up the gifts
and I said, what does this actually mean to you?

(53:09):
It just you know, it's just a few small gifts
of looking a soft toy. And she said, well, this
means this is I don't have to worry about Christmas. Now,
I can go ahead and organize an activity that we
can do together, and I can be with the kids.
To be able to reach now and give to so
many children who literally would not be receiving anything at

(53:32):
all is amazing.

Speaker 3 (53:35):
I tell her, it's amazing, right. The reason why there's
been so much money raised is because of you, Sally
and this charity. Because actually, if we don't know about
what you do, and you don't actually tell us about it,
because a lot of the work you do, none of
us know anything about it. It's amazing. People just carry
on that it's not about them, but they don't shout
about it. We don't know and about it. I could
tell when he calls called me Wednesday night. You were reluctant,

(53:56):
you were you were embarrassed, but you didn't have anything.
You were trying probably everything anybody who could try and help.
And the only reason all these people have donated is
because of the work you do telling people like us
about it that there's so many kids who are going
to be taken into care that actually won't just get
a Christmas present this year, and all the work you've
been doing over the last couple of years. People want

(54:16):
to help you, to help these children.

Speaker 8 (54:21):
It's really overwhelming for me. I never never planned to
build a charity this big. I never I never thought
that there would be so much need and so many requests,
And in our crisis packs, we've got over seven hundred
of those on order. At the moment, we're just trying
to keep doing, just trying to keep doing and doing

(54:43):
and doing that shout out and finding people to come
on board and help us is actually really really hard.
It's the hardest part of it all. Actually, for you
to provide this help and support is really incredible.

Speaker 3 (54:59):
Oh well, everyone, I'm speaking about everyone who's donated money.
Everyone is in awe of you and your team, and
I really really hope that the next couple of months
that actually you get in a position where but someone
finds out about you guys who's got a lot of
money and wants to invest it to set you guys
up properly so you're not in this situation every couple
of months where you can really build something of lasting
value to the children that you're trying to help. The

(55:22):
children in need of Melbourne.

Speaker 8 (55:24):
Oh, that would be incredible, because I'm not stopping this
and we'll keep going for as long as I possible.

Speaker 3 (55:29):
Weekend, Well, thank you, honestly, by half, all those poor kids.
We've got no idea how scary it must have been
in that situation where you need to actually be rescued
from an environment, your home, which is supposed to be
safely in a loving environment, and how scared they must be,
and then just getting some small gift let them know
that some people somewhere actually care about them and they
do matter. That is It's an amazingly beautiful, simple thing

(55:52):
that you guys do.

Speaker 8 (55:53):
So thank you, thank you, thank you to everybody, thanks
for your support for feeling in love thank you.

Speaker 3 (56:00):
I hope you are. Yeah, we all are in awe
of the work you do for those poor kids. So Sally,
I wish you all the best. We catch up again Monday.
I like you probably be hitting refresh every single out
like I was yesterday, looking at probably been reading all
the messages like we how from people as far away
as Germany all over the world who are supporting this

(56:20):
and are being moved by these children, are trying to
get them a Christmas present this year. It's an amazing
thing to be part of. But it's all been generated
by you and your team, So all of you volunteers,
thank you very much for this vital work that you do.
I wish it wasn't so needed, but it is, and
thank you.

Speaker 8 (56:38):
Thank you Christian, thanks so very buddy.

Speaker 3 (56:40):
All Right, Sally, thank you very much for what you do.
Everybody who's donating, thank you very very very much. We'll
be back Monday, and I'd love to really get Sally
back on Monday. Just say it's one hundred and seventy
five thousand. What that means that target, It means five
thousand children will get a Christmas present. If we can
be part of that, then I think We've done something
pretty special with Sally this year. If you can help,

(57:00):
thank you very much, head to the Christian o'connells Show
dot com dot au. We'll be back Monday.
