You can help change lives for the better.

Your donation gives your neighbours and community connection, love and support when they need it most.

No matter who they are, where they’re from, or what circumstances life has dealt them, your support means they are never left behind.

Support homeless mothers and their children in crisis

The horror of domestic, family, and sexual violence, compounded by the rising cost of living, is pushing mothers and their children into homelessness.

They need our compassionate support at this traumatic time in their lives. You can help provide homeless mothers and their children with a new beginning, supporting them to rebuild a strong family life and a hopeful future.

Your kind-hearted gift will help Catholic Care Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains to continue its Houses to Homes program, to provide safe transitional housing to families in hardship, and offer the practical and emotional support and opportunities they need to live life to the full.

“I’ve achieved more in the past five months with Catholic Care than I have in my whole life. I feel like there is a good future for my family and me.” – Johanna*

Earlier this year Johanna found herself emotionally depleted and struggling to find hope. Heavily pregnant and with a young son, she became homeless after her abusive partner kicked her out of the house on Christmas Day.

But with support from our community, the young mum finally found a place to call home for her son and newborn daughter through Catholic Care Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains’ Houses to Homes program.

This was a new beginning for their family – the turning point from a life of moving from place to place.

Johanna didn’t just find a home, she is being supported to gain important life skills, education, training, and employment – to build a better future.

Thank you for helping homeless mothers and children in crisis find a place to call home through your gift to Catholic Care’s Houses to Homes program.
