Can you help write a different ending for Junie?

043 24 Spring Appeal Concept

History has shown just how Junie’s* life will play out if she doesn’t receive the support she needs to overcome her trauma.

Her mum and dad were always screaming and shouting, there would be loud bangs and chaos every single day.

Luckily, Junie had her fairy tales. Little Red Riding Hood and Cinderella would comfort and protect Junie from the violence, abuse and neglect going on around her.

If Junie doesn’t receive support to overcome her trauma, she may end up dropping out of school. She may turn to substances to try and cope with her terrible childhood. And she’d likely end up right where she started.

Please help to break the cycle of violence for Junie and children just like her.
