Be their buddy
One Buddy Bag can mean the world for a child in crisis
Be a buddy to a child escaping violence
Every hour a child is removed from an unsafe home*, and many arrice in emergency care with just the clothes on their back.
Your $58 donation can provide a Buddy Bag to a child escaping violence who's been taken into emergency foster care.
Each Buddy Bag is like a care package, filled with brand-new essentials to help a child on their first steps to safety and recovery.
Right now, half the children who need a Buddy Bag are missing out because we can’t keep up with demand.
On Sunday 2 August, you can help change that.

–Millie*
When siblings Millie (4), Aaron (7), and Jessica (10)* were first taken into emergency foster care, they were traumatised. The violence they'd experienced meant they were afraid of everyone. They barely even spoke.
But thanks to caring people like you, they were each given a Buddy Bag on one of the toughest days of their lives.
*Names have been changed to protect Millie, Aaron and Jessica's safety and privacy.
