Every year at Kinky Curly Straight we like to finish the year with a big fundraising drive and 2016 is no different. Our traditional 12 Days of Christmas always includes a great raffle to support our fundraising for local charities.

This year however the cause is even more personal to our team as we are raising funds for a great client of ours. Robbie has been looking after orphaned joeys, wallabies, possums and any other native creature that are down on their luck for years and always brings her little ones to the salon so our team can have cuddles.

Now looking after these little ones and their big brothers and sisters takes a lot of time, love and money. Once kangaroos and wallabies have been hand raised they can’t be let out into the wild and they stay in sanctuaries like Robbie’s where food and medical expenses are a constant. Interesting fact, they love weetabix – a little treat for them 🙂

Our team was lucky to get invited to come and meet all the baby joeys and kangaroos and spend time with Robbie and Anne (another wonderful lady who has a home sanctuary up in Adelaide Hills). Most of the joeys stories are very sad, from being caught in the bush fires, to their mums being run over by cars or shot by poachers. But lucky there are people like Robbie and Anne who take in orphaned joeys and nurse them to health and give them a beautiful life with love and friends.

We are raising funds for Robbie and Anne’s packs for the duration of December and ask you all to stop by the salon or give us a ring on 08 8363 5003 and donate some spare change, every little bit counts. In return you will go into our fabulous raffle, to be drawn start of January.

The raffle prizes are all donated by our great friends from GHD, Matrix, Kerastase and Kevin.Murphy, so you are in for some serious goodies.

And if you’re very lucky you might run into Robbie when she is next in the salon getting her hair done; check out her pouch as usually there’s a little joey riding along.

Thank you for all your support xoxo
