Dear Our Villager,

What does a child's future hold? Nobody knows – it’s the million-dollar question!

What we do know is, the first 2000 days of a child’s life are crucial to their future. Will you help? Your gift of $20 is desperately needed to make a difference today.

Tragically, many children will never reach their full potential because of the challenges they face from the day they are born.

If there is economic, psychological and/or physical distress within those first 2000 days, the ability for a child to thrive is threatened. Through no fault of their own, they may never reach the potential they were born with.

I am sure you have heard the phrase “it takes a village to raise a child”, and perhaps you have seen that in action? Family and friends rallying around to support a child and their family. To help them through tough times and guide them into the future. 

You can shape a child's future and help them become the very best versions of themselves! 

Donate now to provide the essentials a child needs to thrive.

Together with your support, Our Village alleviates the pressures on mums, dads and carers in our community by providing essential items for their babies and children. Cots, car seats, prams, clothing bundles and toiletries. The basics that are needed to create the safe and secure environment that allows children to thrive. But we can’t do it alone. 

There are thousands of children in Victoria who need a village around them right now. A community to provide the basic essentials to enable them to be safe and thrive – reaching the potential that we know all children have. 

We need your help to make a huge difference in a small child’s life. Your gift today will help provide the essential items a baby needs to thrive – and come out of their first 2000 days with the chance to reach their full potential. Together we can turn pre-loved into re-loved so every child thrives. 

Thank you so much for your support – we can't do it without you,
