Help provide emergency relief to Aboriginal families in crisis
To escape family violence, Mara had to leave with her kids in secret with nothing but a few documents and the clothes on their backs. She showed incredible strength and love for her kids to get them to a safe place, but faced severe hardship when she arrived to her short-term rental with no furniture and a maxed-out credit card.
Eventually, she turned to VACCA for help and we were able to set her up with beds and warm doonas for the kids, a fridge so she wouldn't have to rely on take-away, and help with bills to get ahead.
Can you help families like Mara's?
Sadly, we know many more families will face crises like Mara this winter, with soaring power and petrol prices - on top of everything else. Many more mums will need our support.
Please give today to ensure we can be there for the vulnerable Aboriginal families who need our help this winter. Donate by June 30 and receive a tax-deductible receipt for this financial year. Any amount will help.
