Families should feel happy, protected and safe – but the reality is that some mothers and children aren’t so fortunate…

Because of what’s happening in their home, some of them are living with the constant fear of violence and abuse. And often, when they come to Nellie’s seeking help, they arrive with a hastily packed suitcase or bag with only a few personal possessions on hand.

Sometimes, they arrive with nothing at all.

You can help give these mothers and children the first things they need to start a new life:

-$80 will help a children start this fall fully equipped with a ‘Back-to-school’ kit which includes items such as a backpack, pencils, and clothing.

– $40 will provide a woman with a ‘Basics’ kit which includes essential items like soap, shampoo, and toothpaste.

-$120 will allow you to support both programs.

They may seem like simple things – but they do so much to help women and children adjust as they move towards a life free from violence and abuse. It’s amazing how resilient they can be, with just a little help from Nellie’s and generous people like you.  Please support our Back-To-Basics Campaign today!
