Every child needs a safe place to call home.

On the surface, Katy’s life seemed normal. No one would have known that eight-year-old Katy* and her mum, Melinda*, were homeless. When Melinda’s ex-partner threatened Katy, the pair fled and was forced to sleep in the car for months.

I miss my bed, but mum says the car is safer than our home.
–Katy, 8 years old

When vulnerable families escape domestic violence, they often have nowhere else to go. Services like Mission Australia can provide people like Katy and Melinda with crisis accommodation, essential items and ongoing support to end the cycle of homelessness.

Domestic and family violence: an invisible pandemic.

When Melinda made the difficult decision to leave, she knew the car wasn’t safe either, but anything was better than raising a child in an abusive environment. 

Domestic and family violence is a leading cause of homelessness in Australia and sadly, experiences like this are not uncommon.

Tonight, around 15,800 children younger than 12 years, won’t have a safe home¹.

With your generosity, we can extend our services to reach more children and families in need of a safe home.

Will you help families like Katy and Melinda find a safe home today?
