Local Aboriginal Women’s Refuge
There is a shelter that helps Indigenous women who are fleeing domestic violence. We will not share any names for privacy reasons but the help that is provided at this refuge is incredibly important. This local refuge is helping women establish lives outside of unhealthy relationships which means they and their children can live safely.
Our heart truly goes out to vulnerable women who are trying to escape very difficult situations. We can only imagine how scary and intimidating it must feel to start over from scratch. It is our honour to donate nappies and wipes to provide a bit of practical help ton these mums and children who are in need.
