Help women & kids living in women's shelters*
Research from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW)¹ says that women make up 73% of people seeking homelessness support.
Tens of thousands of Mums and kids escape domestic violence, taking no belongings except the clothes on their backs. Where do you go next? Many mums and bubs spend months living in a women's shelter or refuge.
100% of your donation received by GIVIT goes to buying what's needed.
Vouchers for essentials giving a lifeline to families
There is no other service like GIVIT, and I would especially like to highlight the willingness to provide vouchers for families, as this not only allows the recipient choice in what they receive, it also goes a long way to making the recipient to feel respected and valued, especially when they are experiencing high levels of trauma and loss.
GIVIT is vital in our service.
Bed provided to Mum to ensure she can care for her kids
[recipient] has let me know that she has bought the bed and mattress and has slept like a baby, with no back pain. We want to send the entire GIVIT team a huge thank you, and to let you know...
you've all helped her change her life.
