Young Southern Tasmanian mums are at risk of homelessness, and having their babies removed into State care.
Help keep a young mum like Evelyn* and her baby Ava* together this Christmas. Donate to provide safe, secure accommodation and around-the-clock support.
For any mum, the thought of being separated from her baby is terrifying. The thought of being separated at Christmas is heartbreaking.
Right now, in Southern Tasmania, the worsening housing and cost-of-living crises are putting young mums like Evelyn at imminent risk of homelessness, and of having their little ones removed into State care.
Your kindness now will help keep a young mum and baby together this Christmas, and for many Christmases to come.
Please donate to help meet the costs of providing a place in Hobart City Mission’s life-changing Small Steps program for a young mum like Evelyn and her baby, Ava.
Evelyn’s journey from new little family to young mum at risk with a baby happened suddenly.
“Things fell apart. I couldn’t provide for my baby the way I wanted to. Ava’s dad walked out on us, and I got evicted. I had nowhere to go.”
Thankfully, Evelyn and Ava found their way to Small Steps.
Small Steps is the only program of its kind in Southern Tasmania, providing supported accommodation in a caring community where young mums learn critical life and parenting skills.
Please donate now, to help a young mum build a happy, independent future for her little family. A future that starts this Christmas.
