In subsequent Instagram stories, Rachel Kolisi shared a letter from Sheltering Butterflies.

“At Sheltering Butterflies, our mission is to bring joy, love, and festive cheer to children in foster care and those separated from their biological families. We know this season can be especially difficult for them, as they miss their families the most during this time. We also recognise the dedication of foster parents, who often carry heavy responsibilities with limited resources,” part of the letter by Sheltering Butterflies reads.

The letter requested contributions towards its Annual Feast of Fun Day, scheduled for 18 December 2025. The organisation appealed for food parcel hampers, contributions toward the meal of the day, Christmas shoebox or gifts, monetary donations, and volunteering your time.
