Give a gift that can change a child’s life...<br />

The Fear<br />

Why <strong>Angel</strong> <strong>Tree</strong> ® <br />

Children of prisoners are probably some of the loneliest<br />

children in <strong>Australia</strong>. They feel isolated, rejected,<br />

abandoned and ashamed.<br />

There are more than 38,000 children in our nation who<br />

are affected by having a parent in prison. And though, of<br />

course the children are blameless, they too live in a kind of<br />

prison.<br />

<strong>Angel</strong> <strong>Tree</strong> ® is the <strong>Prison</strong> <strong>Fellowship</strong> program set up<br />

to remember these children at Christmas time. Not<br />

to replace absent parents but to provide a present to<br />

the imprisoned parent to <strong>give</strong> to their child at Christmas<br />

visiting times. And to <strong>give</strong> the whole family – perhaps<br />

for the first time – the true freedom of experiencing<br />

Christmas joy.<br />

<strong>Angel</strong> <strong>Tree</strong> Story<br />

Sick of hearing bad news stories<br />

Through <strong>Angel</strong> <strong>Tree</strong> ® , bad news becomes good news.<br />

‘It was the worst time of my life when dad was in<br />

prison. Things were really tough. I felt shame and<br />

embarrassment. Even at school some kids put me<br />

down. I <strong>will</strong> never forget how good it felt to get<br />

those presents every Christmas while he was away.’<br />

- James<br />

<strong>Prison</strong> <strong>Fellowship</strong> celebrates the joy of our second decade<br />

of giving <strong>Angel</strong> <strong>Tree</strong> ® presents to the children of prisoners<br />

in SA. We deliver presents to Adelaide Pre-release Centre,<br />

Adelaide Women’s <strong>Prison</strong>, Cadell Training Centre, Mobilong<br />

<strong>Prison</strong>, Port Lincoln <strong>Prison</strong> and Yatala Labour <strong>Prison</strong>.<br />

Most prisoners fear their<br />

children might repeat their own<br />

criminal mistakes. This fear is<br />

well founded. Studies show<br />

that children of prisoners are six<br />

times more likely than others<br />

to commit crimes. Happily, by<br />

reaching children before they can become crime statistics,<br />

whole families can be freed from that burden.<br />

So a gift to <strong>Angel</strong> <strong>Tree</strong> ® is truly a gift of freedom.<br />

The freedom of having a healing God in their lives.<br />

The freedom of social acceptance and the hope of a new<br />

start based on Christian love and caring.<br />

The Promise<br />

The good news is - we can all do something to help stop<br />

children today, from going to prison tomorrow.<br />

You can provide a special child with an <strong>Angel</strong> <strong>Tree</strong>®<br />

present. Each child receives two brand new beautifully<br />

wrapped presents for just $33 a child.<br />

What a special Christmas gift! It is our promise to you<br />

that your Gift of Life <strong>will</strong> have an authentic impact on<br />

some of the most vulnerable children in South <strong>Australia</strong>.<br />

Vision: <strong>Prison</strong> <strong>Fellowship</strong> SA is a reconciling community, restoring lives affected by crime.
