Christmas Appeal

No mother or their child should ever be left isolated and alone. Will you give hope and support to a family in need this Christmas?

Will you reach out and support a family in need?

Feeling alone, and having no one to turn to, can drain hope and joy from even the brightest of us.

For many years, Heather* and her son Noah* were subjected to the horrors of domestic violence. But when she saw the chance to start anew, Heather and her son took that chance by the reigns, and fled.

To a new home. A new community. A fresh start. But alone.

Their new home came with an abundance of hurdles, blocking them from the bright future they so desperately needed and deserved. From unsafe housing, to being turned away from local services and supports, and no family or friends to turn to… Heather knew she couldn’t do it alone. But she didn’t know where to turn.

Heather knew she couldn’t fight alone

“Anything that could go wrong did go wrong. Especially with the house. It was just out of my control, and it was very hard to be a full-time carer for a child who’s going through a lot.”
– Heather
