Dreams are no good if they remain just dreams.
Education opens doors - help us instil a love of learning for children in care today.
Children in out-of-home care fall into the lowest educational pool in Australia due to the trauma and instability they experience in their young lives.
Far too many children bounce from home to home, and different schools which greatly hinders their ability to learn, thrive and build vital connections.
Without ongoing support, poor educational outcomes can lead to disengagement in school, mental health issues, unemployment in the future and poor life choices.
With your help, we can make a difference to the life of a child in care by providing them a mentor called a Pyjama Angel who will visit them each week to help them with their learning, building life skills, confidence and self-esteem.
When you donate this year, you are helping one more child in care realise their full potential in life despite a difficult start.
