Give an urgent gift to help children like Ava*.

We know that it’s a very busy and exciting time of year for most of us, however home and family isn’t always a safe place.

Sadly, almost 2.5 million Australians (1 in 8 people) have reported experiencing abuse and violence before the age of 15 years^. There are so many children and young people living with violence today. And they need our help.

This Christmas, you can give a child just like Ava the tools they need to heal the harm they have lived through. Our most vulnerable children need people like you to ensure that they have the specialised therapeutic counselling to help them find the light and experience the joys of childhood again.

At just 6 years old, little Ava experienced family violence which left her unable to sleep, concentrate at school and focus on anything but keeping herself safe.

Please donate to help children and young people like Ava across Australia access the vital support needed to bring hope and healing to their lives.
