This is Jacqui, the Support Services Coordinator at Girikon's Client Organisation: Council of Single Mothers and Their Children (CSMC). Jacqui and her team provide single mothers with the specialist support and information that CSMC is known for. Now Jacqui is speaking out and asking for your help. CSMC's Support Line Workers say they have never had as much unmet demand as now, and the need has never been more acute. The need for support and information has always been high, but demand has skyrocketed due to the cost-of-living crisis. Single mothers who call CSMC's Support Line need help now, but the sheer volume of calls means that many are having to leave messages and wait for a callback. CSMC urgently needs to employ an additional part-time Support Worker to make sure single mother families in dire circumstances get the help they need: https://hubs.li/Q02zplf-0. #CSMC #EOFY #Donation #MakeChange #MakeChangeHappen #MakeADifference #NotForProfit #SupportWorker #SingleMothers

New research from Good360 reveals that this Christmas, 1 in 2 Australians are worried they can’t afford gifts for their loved ones.

For #GivingTuesday, I want to highlight Apna Ghar, Inc. (Our Home), an organization that helps to end gender based violence and provide housing, legal and advocacy programs for women, children and families in need in the Greater Chicago area representing 65 different countries. I joined the Board earlier this year and am amazed by the impact, vision and operations of the organization. Goal is to raise $26K to fund 1 month of transitional housing for 13 apartments and today that impact will be DOUBLED to $52K! Your generous contributions (of any amount) will help families live safely, create stability, and work towards self-sufficiency. Here's how your donation will help: $500 = A month of groceries for one family $1,000 = A month of groceries, supplies, and utility payments for a family $2,000 = One month of rent and utilities for one family https://lnkd.in/dxn-zuh6

🚨 Your Help is Needed Now More Than Ever 🚨 At #CASAJWC, our vision is clear: to create a community where every child who has experienced abuse and neglect is given the opportunity to thrive. Unfortunately, significant reductions in VOCA (Victims of Crime Act) funding—amounting to a loss of over $100,000 since 2023—are jeopardizing the stability of our programs and the well-being of the children we serve. As Julie shares, funding shortages threaten our ability to meet the growing need for advocacy and support in our community. While we’ve taken steps to offset these losses, we can’t sustain our impact without your help. Your monthly or one-time donation will help us maintain critical programs, expand support to more youth, and ensure stability during these uncertain times. Every contribution makes a difference—together, we can continue providing hope, advocacy, and life-changing support to the children who need it most. Donate today towards #CASAJWC's 2024 Annual Appeal and help us build brighter futures: https://lnkd.in/eE-9sVZg 💙

This #GivingTuesday, I want to share something deeply personal. Moms in America face massive structural failures every day: the lack of paid family leave, unaffordable child care, and a system that forces impossible choices. As a single mom for 10 years, I experienced this firsthand. There were countless days I felt alone, trying to do it all without the support that every parent deserves. The sleepless nights, the financial juggling, the constant weight of being both provider and caregiver—it was overwhelming. But it shouldn’t have to be this way. Moms deserve better. Families deserve better. That’s why I’m supporting Moms First this Giving Tuesday. They’re leading the charge for real change: paid family leave, affordable child care, and the support systems that moms like me desperately needed—and still need. If you’re able to give, I hope you’ll join me in supporting their mission. Together, we can help ensure no mom has to carry the burden alone. https://lnkd.in/dzMEzi5P

Or joining the CLCL team to create evidence-based, trauma-informed, antiracist and inclusive programs.

Yes, ‘It Takes A Community To Raise A Youngster’. So his friends, your friends, his peer group, the magazines and TV channels that he watches, the police, the government are all responsible. They all contribute to your child’s mindset. Where do we begin? Charity begins for each one of the above at home. Let’s stop blaming, finding faults, let the change begin.
