Mother's Day Appeal

In May every year, Karinya House celebrates the women who inspire us. We celebrate the women whose lives we share, their resilience, perseverance, struggles and joys.

We ask you – their community – their village – to celebrate with us as well.

As Friends of Karinya, you are part of their journey also. Karinya House services are funded by a true collaboration of our individual and family donors, community and corporate partners and our ACT Government collaborators.

The 2019 Karinya House Annual Mother’s Day Gala Dinner and Appeal together raised $57,199.

We need to raise this amount again in 2020. (At least!)

This year the Gala Dinner is unable to be held, due to COVID-19. We also know that you, many of you, are impacted economically by COVID-19. So, in one sense, our hearts are heavy as we call to you for support.

Any donation toward our 2020 Mother’s May-Day Appeal will make a difference.

Karinya House remains fully operational. We have women in residence, we are supporting women living in the community. As this appeal gets underway, we are walking alongside 44 women, 28 babies under 12 Months and 30 children under 10 years old. There are 10 babies also due. The women we support are often socially and physically isolated. During these unprecedented times, their sense of isolation and the level of risk can be compounded. It is vital our professional and compassionate team can continue to be engaged to walk alongside the women we support. To be their family, their partner, their friend…

Perhaps you might make a donation as a gift for your Mother, or to remember your Mother, or you might donate the amount you would spend:

  • Having lunch with your mum.
  • Going to the Gym.
  • Buying your daily coffee.
  • Going to the Karinya House Gala Dinner
  • Buying a ticket in the Mystery Wine Draw
  • Filling up your car with petrol
  • Or anything else you are not spending your $ on during this period of restricted movement and physical distancing.
