In the darkest moments for our most vulnerable children, your generosity can be the light.✨ Life threw eleven-year-old Danika* into a situation that no child should face. When her carer was no longer able to look after her, she experienced a whirlwind of ten different respite homes, four during Christmas. With the help of generous donors like you, our Foster Care Team provided extra support for Danika during her most difficult moments. They took her on a fun-filled ay to Luna Park and organised groceries for her favourite pastime – cooking with her Foster Carers.💚 Can you help support vulnerable children like Danika? Money raised in this year’s Tax Appeal will help support our Foster and Kinship Care teams to provide the little extras in life to children in need, including small gifts and equipment for hobbies, like cookery, sport, art and drawing.🌟 Gifts of $2 or more are tax deductible in Australia.

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is observed each year on 15 June. It’s an opportunity for everyone in the community to stand together against the abuse, mistreatment and neglect of older people. Baptcare encourages everyone to educate themselves about how to recognise and prevent elder abuse. The Australian Human Rights Commission has developed resources in 20 languages most spoken by older Australians to increase community understanding about elder abuse and the National Elder Abuse phone line (☎️ 1800 353 374).

Today and every day, if you experience, witness or suspect elder abuse please speak up. (fb)
