You can help provide a child like Molly* with warmth, comfort, and the support her family needs to escape homelessness this winter.
Molly and her family had nowhere to go
It was two days before Molly Clarke’s birthday. She should have been preparing to celebrate with her loved ones, but instead, she and her two little brothers were out in the cold after their family was unexpectedly evicted from their home.
“We were told we had just two weeks to find a home and get out,” said Molly’s mum, Jenny*...
The rental crisis is putting more families at risk.
As the rental and cost-of-living crisis worsens, more families like Molly’s are struggling to keep a roof over their heads.
An estimated 3.3 million Australians are now living below the poverty line, including 1 in 6 children.1 Rental prices continue to rise, meanwhile, in January of this year, national rental vacancies dropped to near-record lows of 1%2 – making it increasingly difficult for low-income families to secure a home.
With the support of generous people like you, Wesley Mission will continue to offer relief to families in need.
But as winter approaches and more people call upon our services, we urgently need your help to address this growing need.
