At just 16, Mariam lost her home, her family and her future

Your gift today will help ensure no young person has to pay the price of safety on their own

No young person should have to sacrifice everything just to be safe.

Yet for many young people experiencing violence and instability, the price of safety can be losing their home, their family, their education or the future they once imagined.

Your donation helps ensure they don’t have to face that price on their own.

From emergency assistance and safe accommodation to counselling, education support and wraparound care, your generosity helps young people move beyond crisis and build safer, more stable futures.

Please donate today and help a young person find safety when they need it most.

What your support can make possible for young people like Mariam

When Mariam came to us at 16, she wasn’t facing just one problem. She was experiencing homelessness, escaping violence, out of school and cut off from everyone she knew – all at the same time.

When you make a gift, you help provide young people like Mariam with wraparound support.

Wraparound support means bringing everything a young person needs together at once – somewhere safe to live, help with their mental health, a way back into education and a caseworker they can rely on.

Together, we can make a difference

Be part of a compassionate community making a difference for young people

Thanks to your donations, we can continue to provide life-changing support for young people who have only known the fear and instability of homelessness.

The statistics are staggering, with over 13,300 unaccompanied young people aged 12-17 seeking help from homelessness services in just one year.

We urgently need more resources to respond to the growing need for homelessness services. Please donate today.
