Sorry we don't have a happier number to share with you. Unfortunately, 470 is a number that represents fear, worry and stress. These families are waiting for basic, essential items to take care of their baby. Nothing fancy. Just items that will ensure their baby is safe and able to thrive. Can you imagine the levels of stress those parents are facing right now ?

Here in the Operations Team at Our Village, we work hard to distribute items to over 20,000 babies and children every year. And we hate having a waitlist. Even one family waiting, with us simply not having the resources to reach them is tough. But 470 is devastating. 

There are currently 190 families that are waiting for clothing bundles for their children. It's so cold out there right now and these families are struggling with providing the basics – onesies, jumpers and winter coats. Can you help them?

Can you believe that we have 50 parents who have no idea where their newborn will sleep when they bring them home? We are all doing it tough right now, but just imagine if you were one of the 50 mums or dads wondering how to make sure their baby has a safe night’s sleep tonight. Can you help them?

We are all facing the harsh realities of the cost of living crisis, some more than others. Right now it feels so much harder, with freezing temperatures meaning more costs: warmer clothes, blankets and the ever increasing heating bills. This all adds to the families on our waitlist having a stressful and anxious time. By making a gift today you can help relieve some of that stress – and all donations over $2 are tax-deductible. With the EOFY deadline only 4 days away, act now to maximise your donation.

Our waiting list doesn’t just include those needing clothing or cots. Families are also desperately waiting for car seats, prams, nappies and other essentials. 

An incredible gift of $1070 can provide the ‘Whole Kit & Caboodle” to a family in need.

Our Operations Team wants to clear our waitlist now. Without your support these children will, quite simply, miss out. It takes a Village. Give now and join Ours.

Thank you so much for your help,

Julia Roache, 
Head of Community Engagement and Operations
