AUST | ILF | RAISING | Awareness, Support and Funds towards Festive Appeal: Books for First Nations kids
Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF) believes Aboriginal kids need their very own books! It is so exciting for them to own a book written in the language they speak at home.
But with Christmas upon us, we have are still to raise the full amount of what we need. We are in desperate need of a Christmas miracle!
If you can, we know the kids will be overjoyed if you could gift another book this year.
The need for these books in remote Communities is so great. Simply because we know that they give Aboriginal children the best chance at learning to read.
Please, share our campaign far and wide with friends and family! Together, I hope we can deliver a Christmas miracle to Aboriginal kids in remote Communities.
With gratitude,
David and the Indigenous Literacy Foundation Team
NSW | DPT | RAISING | Awareness, Support and Funds towards Animal Refuge
Deep Peace Trust (DPT) is a large animal sanctuary in Australia, continuing to support hundreds or animals and wildlife. We’ve endured the challenges of unprecedented droughts, devastating fires, and major floods, but your support gives us the peace and certainty we need to help the animals every day.
As the year comes to a close, I have to ask if you can add one more of our animals to your last minute giving list this year?
Our sanctuary wish list is a like a Christmas lunch - lots of hay!
- Buy Breakfast for Bessie the cow and her son Blessed
- Buy dinner for half of the brumbies in sanctuary
- Buy a large bale of hay for the sanctuary animals
- Buy the entire sanctuary breakfast
- Buy an entire truckload of hay for the sanctuary
Please share our campaign with friends, family, and fellow animal lovers to help get out our message.
Your support extends beyond a donation; it contributes to a different world of thinking about animals — with kindness, compassion and love. And this is vital today.
With love,
Billie
NSW | BMNAC | RAISING | Awareness, Support and Funds towards helping Aboriginal kids find their Gumbaynggirr voice
When you sponsor an Aboriginal child to learn their Language through Bularri Muurlay Nyanggan Aboriginal Corporation (BMNAC), you are sponsoring not only their future, but all of their kids, grandkids and great grandkids into the future who will benefit from growing up speaking it.
"In a generation or so we want to have babies born who grow up speaking Gumbaynggirr as their first language and to bring Gumbayngirr back into everyday use. Already these kids, their language ability is far better than what I was at their age."
The school teaching Aboriginal kids started in 2022 with just 15 students and this year they already have 74 enrolments plus a waiting list!
But without any government funding infrastructure, it’s hard for them to take on all of these new students.
The legacy of colonisation and the Stolen Generation has meant many Aboriginal kids didn't get the chance to learn their Language.
With a new set of classrooms, the school will be on their way to developing a pathway for Aboriginal kids to learn language all the way up to year 12.
Can you chip in for another Aboriginal student to find their Gumbaynggirr voice?
VIC | JDFS | RAISING | Awareness, Support and Funds towards Animal Refuge
Within the space of a week and half, J&D's Farm Sanctuary (JDFS) saved more than a dozen animals with nowhere else to go.
As you can imagine, sanctuary life changed dramatically. Their newest members are 6 male calves who were only a few days old and due to be culled within 24 hours as well as many baby and orphaned animals with special needs.
"We are trying to do our bit but can only care for so many. John and I are totally exhausted but we are keeping our doors open despite the pressure of time and resources, simply because the need is so great.We need your help to make sure these animals are safe and comfortable in their new home, ready to start a life with much more love."
With Christmas here, let's extend some festive love to these beautiful humans and the rescues they so lovingly took in.
Can you help these two angels ensure that these beautiful animals have what they need this Christmas?
Thanks,
John and Debbie
WA | DBH | RAISING | Awareness, Support and Funds towards helping STOP the destruction of climate and culture
The peaceful emergency protest of a veterinarian, terrified for whales and marine life, led to Marek ‘Maz’ Misiewicz's arrest just 2 weeks ago. He was opposing recent approvals of drilling and seismic blasting at Scarborough gas field with climate activists, Disrupt Burrup Hub (DBH).
He is yet another in a long list of peaceful climate activists who have been arrested, charged and convicted in the past month. They are protesting Burrup Hub because it is a death sentence.
“I am blockading access to NOPSEMA's office after they approved Woodside's destructive plans. The toxic relationship between the regulator and fossil fuel companies is alarming. As a veterinarian, I must safeguard wildlife, and Woodside's activities threaten marine life and escalate climate change. We need to stop the government from approving the Browse gas field this summer, or we'll be back with more blockades.” – Veterinarian Marek ‘Maz’ Misiewicz
Attaching himself to a concrete barrel in a four-wheel-drive outside the office shared by NOPSEMA, Perdaman, and Woodside's North West Shelf holding company, he disrupted all traffic on the major Perth road during rush hour.
With the full force of the WA police against them, Disrupt Burrup Hub need your support now more than ever.
Remember, the fight for Burrup Hub is a fight for our only home, planet Earth.
Share far and wide to make sure this injustice doesn't go unnoticed!
