Christmas Appeal

For many of us, Christmas means home.

But what if home isn't safe?

What if you can't make the rent?

12 months ago, Sophie — a mum of three — was losing sleep, facing eviction and homelessness.

Can you imagine how terrifying it would be to fall behind on the rent? Or to come to the end of a lease period desperately hoping your landlord will renew.

Sophie wasn't behind on rent because she was irresponsible. She was behind because the system is broken.

We have a housing crisis. And it matters so deeply because home is the foundation that makes all other changes possible. 

When she knocked on Anglicare's door, everything changed. Rent arrears paid. New budget made. She regained confidence and started sleeping again at night.

Month by month, things improved, and this Christmas, Sophie's hosting lunch — in her home.

But right now, other families are facing the same crisis Sophie did.

Give today to help another family be home for Christmas.
