“Goodman JFS is a lifeline for so many. It feels like home to us.” Jane and Bruce Levy have been donors to Goodman JFS for more than 20 years, but their connection goes back even further. “For each of us, the journey started differently. Bruce was a young engineering student from Israel when Saint Louis JFS gave him an interest-free loan to return home and fight in the 1973 war. He paid it back, but he never forgot what that support meant at such a critical time. For Jane, it started with delivering food to Holocaust survivors. Meeting them changed everything. It created a deep desire to do more. That led to serving on the Board of Directors and eventually becoming Board Chair.” Their message is simple but powerful: “We want to do all we can to help those in need, and this is the perfect organization for us to do so. Goodman JFS is there for all of us.” We’re deeply grateful to Jane and Bruce for their commitment, compassion and decades of service to our community. 💙 #DonorSpotlight #CommunitySupport #Donate #DoingGOOD

In the heart of Dublin City, these words are being shared over cups of tea at Jane’s Place. Jane’s Place is a sanctuary for women in crisis. A drop-in centre, where there’s always a hot shower waiting, the tea is steaming and someone to listen. When you’ve suffered life on the streets, when you know the trauma of violence, or if you’re silently battling addiction, with nowhere to turn – Jane’s Place is here. This brand-new service has already supported more than 150 women this year – and demand is growing. The service is donor-funded. And your help is urgently needed to keep the service open for another year. To welcome women. To guard her safety. To protect her independence. To help her heal. Will you give a gift to Jane’s Place today?

Thanks to a generous donor, all gifts made through June 30 will be matched dollar for dollar as we close out our fiscal year.

Will you provide a place of welcome, support, and community for mothers seeking asylum? People seeking asylum experience trauma in their country of origin, and again when navigating a broken system in Australia. They are left to raise their children without a support system - no family, friends, community, or safety net. The Asylum Seekers Centre provides a place of support and connection, from on-site healthcare to employment assistance, community groups, and recreational activities. Help women seeking safety to rebuild a community and the village it takes to raise a child. Donate today.

Are you still unsure if it's the right time to ask for help? It’s easy to feel that asking for help shows weakness but the truth is being vulnerable and reaching out takes real strength and courage. Talking about needing help has always been tough, so it’s no surprise that many people struggle to open up about their finances or other challenges. It takes vulnerability to ask for help especially when it comes to money. At Catholic Charities, we understand your situation. Asking for help doesn’t have to be embarrassing. With eleven different programs, we support youth, families, individuals and seniors with dignity. We offer counseling, crisis pregnancy support, marriage preparation, support groups, senior companions, financial assistance, youth education and volunteer opportunities to name just a few ways we help. Let go of any fear or shame and take the first step toward getting the support you need today. If you're not sure where to start, just click the link to reach out. We’re here to help.

Rochelle loves being around other people—she enjoys spending time with her daughter, laughing with her best friend and caring for patients as a nurse for 20 years. But in 2022, a breakdown and diagnosis of bipolar depression and seizure disorder threatened her independence, livelihood and social life. She found hope and community at Goodwill's A Place of Our Own Clubhouse where she met people who truly understood her journey. At the Clubhouse, she learned new skills working at the reception desk where she enthusiastically greets people, answers phones, and gets to know every new member personally. "If I did not have the clubhouse to come to, I would be stuck at home without socialization," admits Rochelle. "The staff really helped me come out of my shell and make me comfortable." Life-changing programs like A Place of Our Own Clubhouse are made possible through the generosity of donors. ❤️ You can help more people like Rochelle find connection and purpose.

Street children and children in conflict with the law face severe health challenges, from poor living conditions to malnutrition and disease.

Some use them to cope with hardship, while others are trapped in addiction. Government rehabilitation centers exist but lack flexibility, making them unappealing to many children. .

Turning Lives Around: Sharon's Story 💫 Sharon* is a young mum whose life has been marked by poverty and domestic violence. From feeling lost and vulnerable, Barnardos supported her every step of the way on her journey to a safer and brighter future. When we first started working with Sharon, she was actively using drugs, couch surfing and involved with the Department of Communities and Justice due to concerns surrounding her ability to care for her unborn child. She already had shared custody of her three older children, aged between four and eight, and had severed ties with immediate and extended family. Sharon had experienced extreme poverty in childhood, leading her down a rabbit hole of abuse, substance misuse and poor mental health. She had limited education opportunities and struggled to find employment. Once she knew she could trust Barnardos, Sharon was willing to break the cycle. She agreed to attend a mother and baby inpatient drug rehabilitation centre for three months, following the birth of her baby. Barnardos worked closely with Sharon during this time, collaborating with other essential services to ensure she was receiving the right level of care after more than a decade of substance abuse. We secured transitional housing for Sharon at the end of her therapy and through strong partnerships with Dandelion and Vinnies, Barnardos furnished her new home. Relieving the financial burden of affording essential items meant Sharon could focus on setting up a safe environment for her baby and work towards reconnecting with her older children. Despite having to rely solely on parenting Centrelink payments, Sharon did her best to provide for her children. She was able to move into a three-bedroom property, arranged by housing services, after a year in transitional housing. The sense of pride and gratitude she feels for this home is clear as she continues to build a life free from poverty. She has also achieved two milestones once thought impossible: obtaining her driver’s licence and purchasing a car with a NILs loan, granting her newfound independence. Sharon has since secured her first job, demonstrating remarkable commitment despite mental health setbacks. The impact of intergenerational poverty remains a constant battle for Sharon, especially as the cost-of-living crisis continues to place financial strain on this young mum. But she is committed to breaking the cycle of poverty, so her children can grow up feeling empowered. Barnardos has been privileged to help Sharon throughout her journey and with continued support from her caseworker, paired with Sharon’s determination to create a better life for her children, the future looks bright. *Name changed to protect privacy
