The choice is hard but l have had family & dear friends who have passed with cancer.
With 4 daughters l am very aware of breast cancer & friends who were afflicted by this.

For those reasons l nominate THE CANCER COUNCIL
 
Matt Talbot Hostel for the Homeless. The homeless need all the help they can get …. they are not living on the streets by choice.
 
Naturally I have picked the Royal Flying Doctor Service as I have supported them with monthly donations for quite a while also when they have a special appeal, when I and my late wife used to drive interstate, it was reassuring when we passed the sites of the RFDS to know that in an emergency help was at hand. Australia is lucky to have such a service and any donation is greatly appreciated.
 
48 hours to vote for your favourite charity!

Hi guys - as of the time of writing this post, our 'post for charity' initiative (https://seniorsdiscountclub.com.au/...ount-club-christmas-charity-fundraiser.40964/) has about 11 more hours to run... The chances are, by the time you see this thread, the other one will already be closed - thanks to everyone who posted, it looks like we will be donating close to $1000!

Now it's time to choose your preferred charity. The top 5 choices were:

Matt Talbot hostel for the homeless
Cancer Council
Save the Children
The Royal Flying Doctor Service
The Salvation Army

Please select your choice from the poll above (you may need to scroll up). We'll run this until Saturday the 23rd December 11.59pm (Sydney time), at which point entries will close and we'll announce which charity gets the donation.
Save the Children but a hard choice all deserve the money and could use it

Cancer Council
I vote for them because the Peter Mac Cancer Center in Melbourne did a fantastic job for my cousin Dennis who had bone cancer, The treatment and the care given to Dennis was second to none they did everything possible but unfortunately he lost his battle and passed away from the cancer.
So in memory of my cousin and close friend Dennis I vote for the Cancer Council.
Thank you for the opportunity to vote

I vote for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Apart from providing an essential service across our vast outback, they bring help, hope and happiness to many people who could not operate in the outback without the RFDS. Hopefully, in your travels across our wide brown land, you will not need their service, but they are always there should the need arise. Happy Christmas to all and we look forward to a better 2024.
It is not just in the outback they serve. They also serve by transferring patients from one hospital at one end of the region to another in the far end of the same region. They cannot be praised enough for the work they do and are always cheerful when doing it.
