Donate to support children facing violence at Christmas
Every year, family violence spikes at Christmas. This means thousands of children need your help. 14% of children under 15 have experienced family violence. Australia is in a family violence crisis, and we need more help than ever to support children to recover from their trauma.
Our past appeals
Break the cycle of violence for Junie
Family violence often repeats from generation to generation. That’s certainly how it played out for Junie, whose mum and dad only knew violence and abuse. They didn’t know what a loving family was and so, they couldn’t give this to Junie.
Without early intervention and support, Junie’s story is likely to end just like it started, with trauma. Please help Junie and kids just like her to have a happy ever after.
Donate this tax time to support Victorian children in need
Children like Elly* need our help now. They need support with things like early intervention therapies, trauma-informed education and a safe home so they can go on to lead healthy, happy lives.
Make a tax deductible donation to Berry Street before June 30 to support vulnerable children.
Help kids like Jesse receive the wraparound support they need
Thirteen-year-old Jesse has spent his life trying to protect his younger siblings. He is a kind and gentle boy despite all the violence and abuse he has experienced. But he needs your help. Jesse and kids just like him need wraparound support to have the best opportunity for a bright future. Jesse has lived in over 10 out-of-home care homes and now he needs a safe and stable home to live long term. Please help Jesse and kids like him get the support he needs.
Can you help break the cycle of family violence?
It’s estimated that children are present in 1 in 3 family violence call outs attended by police. Pippa spent many years living in a home with constant violence and now she needs support to process her trauma. Unfortunately, family violence is increasing but there is still so much we can all do to help. Your gift can help to break the cycle of family violence so children like Pippa can grow up free from abuse and neglect.
