Thanks for visiting my #ISTANDUP fundraising page.
I have pledged to make a stand against domestic violence on Friday, 13 October 2017, standing from 9am to 5pm.
I Lost my sister in law Teresa Bradford to Domestic violence and this needs to stop changes need to happen. So I stand up and raise money to a charity that I hold close because they paid for Teresa's funerals when we couldn't so please help so share the dignity can keep helping.
Understanding homelessness in Australia is the knowledge that on any given night over 105,000 people are homeless. 44% are Women and 27% are Children under the age of 18. The number one reason these Women and Children are homeless is due to Domestic Violence.
I would appreciate any donations towards my challenge, donations big and small go a long way towards making a difference to Australian women and children affected by domestic violence.
All donations will go directly to Share the Dignity and feed back in to their initiatives including;
- Because We Care; tasked with assisting families to pay for the funerals of those killed by an act of domestic violence. In order to ease the financial burden on grieving families and allow them a little dignity at such a tragic time.
- Dignity vending machines; custom designed and installed sanitary item vending machines, dispensing free sanitary items.
- Activities 4 All; providing fully funded activities scholarships for children affected by domestic violence.
A donation from Joanne Shankland. Who was touched by this cause.
