Naomi* is a young mum with a fiercely protective instinct for her children.
But then, she found herself facing her worst imaginable nightmare...
"I was homeless with two children. I had no family support. When you're a mum and you can't provide a home for your children, there's so much guilt."
She threw herself into a search for a rental home. But she was shocked to discover just how bad the housing crisis had become. Fewer than 3% of rental properties in Australia are affordable for families like Naomi’s at the moment...
Tragically, more than 60% of all people who are homeless in Australia are women. And more than 90,000 of them are single parents, like Naomi.
With your Red Shield Appeal gift, you can help provide people like Naomi with the hope and support they need to find secure housing and get their life back on track.
It was compassionate people like you, through a gift to the Salvos, who gave Naomi hope for a better life for her children.
She said,
“When I heard we had a home, I was just so overwhelmed and so relieved. I can’t even explain the gratitude I feel. For the first time in so many years, I can heal, I can breathe, and I can work to create a better future for myself and my children.”
Your Red Shield Appeal support will help give another mum like Naomi and her children hope for a safe, stable and secure home.
Please donate to the 2025 Red Shield Appeal today.
