Help Two Children Start Fresh After a Year Sleeping Rough
GIVIT
Ready to Learn
After more than a year sleeping rough under a bridge, a mother and her two children have finally found transitional housing. They’ve lost nearly everything along the way: clothes, school bags, uniforms, and their sense of stability. The children missed months of school during constant moves, but their mum, living with a chronic illness, never gave up. She’s now re-enrolling them in a new school to give them a steady and hopeful start.
Her 14-year-old son loves music and dreams of learning guitar. Her 12-year-old daughter, who loves the colour pink, hopes to play hockey and make new friends. Both need basic school items — lunch boxes, shoes, uniforms, and supplies — to feel part of school life again. Your kindness will help these children walk proudly into class, knowing they matter, and remind their mum that hope can grow even after the hardest year.
