Homelessness is a problem nearly all of us wish to end. Yet there are so many appeals to donate to you could become completely desensitised to them.It’s unfortunate, but that’s our reality. What’s it going to take to get someone’s attention? What else can we do to get people to donate?
That’s why our new donation appeal looks like we’re offering a free gift with every donation. We’ve realised there are endless ways to ask for help, but there’s nothing we can offer that compares to the good feeling you get when you help someone in need.
Mission Australia can help end homelessness and help people get their lives back on track, but we need your support.
There are more than 100,000 homeless Australians, and nearly one in five will sleep outside in the cold tonight. Some will only have a newspaper to keep warm. Living on the street can have grim consequences, from isolation and loneliness to low self-esteem and mental illness.
When homeless people do seek help they face further daunting problems. They typically visit multiple services, yet most of these are overstretched and must turn people away. Across the nation, Mission Australia has 87 services for homeless people that provide the guidance and motivation they need to transform their lives.
Mission Australia is committed to ending homelessness in Australia. We believe all Australians should be able to live in a safe, secure and affordable home.
Our primary focus is to prevent homelessness from occurring. We provide financial counselling, family and individual support, mental health support, and employment and training assistance to help keep people from falling into crisis.
