NT | GWS | RAISING | Awareness, Support and Funds towards Women's Shelter
Galupa Women's Shelter (GWS) have raised two thirds of what they need to protect women and babies at Galupa and to help them stay on their homeland.
With Jan 26 coming up, Gayili shared with me that she hopes we can all have a peaceful day where we can walk together and celebrate the Country that we are on.
If you can, we know the women and babies at Galupa will be overjoyed if you can support them for Jan 26. Let's amplify the incredible work of Gayili tomorrow by sharing her story with friends and family!
Gayili has a message for you that you can watch on her campaign page.
Gayili is an award winning humanitarian and is credited for turning the suicide rate in the area from the then highest documented in Australia - to zero.
Together, let's help Galupa Women's Shelter to continue its irreplaceable work across the region protecting First Nations Women and their Children, who like anyone else in this country are entitled to live safely and with dignity.
VIC | JDFS | RAISING | Awareness, Support and Funds towards Farm Sanctuary
This is an urgent appeal on behalf of J&D Farm Sanctuary (JDFS) and their newest rescue, sweet baby Gloria.
The poor girl was found in one of the worst situations you could imagine, both her back feet had been torn off, she was left to die with infection, maggots, extreme pain, and the inability to walk to find food and shelter.
Funds raised so far have been a god send to this small sanctuary, but they need to arrange specialist surgery ASAP and it won't be cheap.
Debbie from the sanctuary shared:
"Life at the sanctuary is overwhelming, but the calm and gentle nature of beautiful Gloria makes it all worth it. She knows we are helping her now so she is such a little darling letting us change her dressings. She is recovering well, but we need to get her into surgery as soon as possible. We would really appreciate any support as we have so many other special needs animals to care for."
J&D Animal Sanctuary are left with a significant veterinary bill. Gloria's future depends on the kindness of people who feel that her life is worthy. They have been told that with the right support she can live a long happy, and pain free life!
Can you help show J&D Sanctuary and Gloria some love?
Your support means so much.
VIC | VAFS | RAISING | Awareness, Support and Funds towards FREE funerals for vulnerable Aboriginal families
Victorian Aboriginal Funeral Services (VAFS) never leave a family with the financial burden caused by the death of a loved one. They offer their culturally safe funeral services irrespective of the families ability to pay.
"We are devastated to announce that our hearse has been written off due to a battery malfunction. Without it, we can’t continue offering free funeral services to the most vulnerable families in the Aboriginal community - families coping with deaths in custody, homelessness, suicide, loss of children, or family violence in a culturally safe way.
We cannot count the number of loved ones we've laid to rest over the 50 years. We've touched the lives of every Aboriginal family in Victoria. We urgently need your help to continue our vital work."
All Aboriginal people deserve a funeral that respects culture, family and the unique community protocols for burying Aboriginal people.
Your contribution will directly impact their ability to provide cultural farewells Aboriginal community members. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will bring them one step closer to the new hearse they so desperately need.
Don't celebrate, donate. Share this campaign with a friend who wants to show respect, rather than celebrate Jan 26 this year
WA | SOS | RAISING | Awareness, Support and Funds towards Saving Our Songlines: stand up for Murujuga
Last year, Raelene Cooper won a case in the Federal Court that stopped Woodside conducting seismic blasting of sacred Sea Country. Two months later, Woodside started seismic blasting anyway because the federal regulator waved through a new approval. Emissions from the project are a death sentence and are already eroding the world's largest collection of ancient rock art.
Rosemary Island is just one treasure of many at risk in the Burrup - it is home to a globally significant nesting population of threatened hawksbill turtles.
"The gas industry is trying to say it shouldn’t have to consult adequately with First Nations people. This is a system that is deliberately set up to fail us.
Currently, our state and federal governments are both working to make changes to their regulations to make it easier for industry to destroy my Country. Meanwhile, on my Country at Murujuga, Woodside’s Burrup Hub and the Perdaman chemicals urea plant are destroying our sacred sites while the federal Environment Minister sits on a major cultural heritage review that we demanded.
We need your help to fight harder than ever to protect the Burrup, sacred Murujuga rock art sites and songlines."
Will you stand with Raelene in this fight to protect sacred Murujuga rock art sites, songlines and the future of our planet?
Save our Songlines (SOS) is a campaign coordinated by Murujuga traditional custodians fighting to protect Country through community organising and strategic legal and media action.
Don't celebrate, donate. Share this campaign with a friend who wants to protect sacred Country, rather than celebrate Jan 26 this year.
