Murrindindi Ranges Wildlife Shelter
The Murrindindi Ranges Wildlife Shelter Inc. is a Victorian rescue and rehabilitation charity for native species of Australian Fauna. Operated by the founder Kate who is one of the most passionate rescuers I know. She puts in an incredible amount of effort to keep the shelter open for as many animals as she can and will work all hours of the night and morning for call outs to injured animals.
With rapid urbanization occurring all over Victoria I believe it is very important to support native animals affected by human impacts.
Thank you for all that you do.

headspace Collingwood
My wife and I started to help @Headspacecollingwood gain sponsors and the running the food stalls for their annual football day. The thought of vulnerable clients having to wait for services such as this at this time reminded me of our experience and how lucky we were to have help available when required.

BEDDOWN
I first learned of Beddown from a news or current affairs program and was moved by the help being offered. Not only do Beddown provide a safe and comfortable space to sleep to those sleeping rough, they also arrange for healthcare, clothes cleaning and showers with Orange Sky, and so much more. Homelessness is a major issue right across the country and Beddown are just one of the charities making things a little better.

National Homeless Collective
Covid-19 has seen an increase in the demands placed on community charities. Non more than the National Homeless Collection. They kept popping up on my socials and I recognised the directors as they attended my church. I actually bumped into Glenn (Director) a few months ago and he explained that they had sadly seen a rise in the number of domestic violence cases as a result of Covid.
I believe that National Homeless Collection is an amazing charity and will benefit greatly from the awareness we can bring and the contribution we can make. We stand beside you Glenn. Together we can make a difference.

life’s little treasures foundation
I chose Life’s Little Treasures because I want to help continue the work they do for parents and families of premature and sick babies. I myself received their support when our Evelyn was in hospital for four months. The gifts and support these families receive make a huge impact during one of the most scariest and hardest times you can face when delivering a sick or preemie baby. Thank you for all you do.
Kandida Robertson
RBWH Foundation
I chose NeoRESQ services because what they do is truly amazing. The service transports premature or critically ill babies to life saving treatment and speaking from experience, it is such a stressful and traumatic time for any expecting parent to deliver a baby before it’s due date. The tremendous support and kindness they show to parents in this difficult time is truly incredible. Our entire family can’t thank you enough.

By giving I hope to put a smile on a person’s face, even if it’s just for a moment. Of all the medicines in the world, a smile is by far the best medicine.
They say it takes a village to raise a family so no young person should have to go through this alone. I care. As do many others. I hope they take some comfort in this knowledge and that it helps with the healing process. Together, everything is possible.
