A young 9-year-old boy from Lviv, Max, has become obsessed with the Melbourne Demons AFL team!
Against the backdrop of russian missile attacks, damaged buildings, wounded civilians and attending school in a bunker, the packages Max has received from Aussie Debbie Daks with Demons scarves, jumpers, footy balls and tapes of the game have given him moments of happiness and brightness.
Thank you Debbie for showing Max and his family and friends that Australia cares.
And thank you 3AW’s Neil Mitchell for getting the Melbourne Football Club and Channel 7 on board, who will be sending Max tapes of the upcoming AFL finals games, a message from Demons’ player Max Gawn and a box of Demons merchandise!
