Trundle girls Matilda McAneney and Zoe Stephenson spent their term two holdiays selling bracelets to the Trundle community to raise funds for Can Asssist.

The girls set up thir stall outside of the Trundle Newsagency and raised an outstanding amount of money with $379.70 worth of braclets sold.

The girls came up with the idea after staying with their Nan.

"During the school holidays we went to stay with our Nan for a couple of nights," Zoe said.

"We found a bracelet kit in Tilly's room and thought we would start making some. Then we thought maybe we could sell them, then we came up with the idea to sell them and raise money for Can Assist."

The girls said they wanted to raise money for Can Assist as they help people who are sick and are going through a really tough time and it is important to raise money for the chairty so people that are sick can get better.

"We were blown away by the support from the Trundle community. More than you could imagine. Nan said we shouldn't be disappointed if we only made a few dollars. To raise what we did was a huge surprise," Matilda said.

The girls said raising money again in the future would definitely be something they would be more than happy to do again.

The girls and their families are amazed of the generosity that Trundle showed to the girls during the school holidays and thanked everyone who donated and the Trundle Newsagency for letting them set up in front of the shop.
