Noise Cancelling Headphones
You can't find peace of mind if you can't find peace and quiet
Every single care package that we distribute will include a pair of wireless bluetooth headphones. We know that in busy, sometimes over-crowded families getting a bit of silence and some mental space is the hardest thing of all.
We know that the gift of some peace and quiet is something priceless for every recipient.
