Support for a Family At High Risk of Homelessness; £30 for 1 Month

The amazing and inspiring statue of Christ opens its arms to the city and the sea beyond. Dad said that you could see this majestic figure from everywhere in the city.

Despite the sculpture's all-seeing stony gaze, Rio de Janeiro (like much of Latin America) sees some crushing, grinding, unrelenting poverty. With this present {scroll to 9}, the towering image of Christ might be able to preside over one less homeless family who might have splintered under the crash of inpoverishment and added to the city's ranks of rough-sleeping adults and children, if the Toybox Charity are able to intervene and help them to paper over the cracks, maybe even repairing them altogether.
