💔 What if you couldn’t afford a cot for your baby? A warm jacket for winter? A pram to get to appointments?

For thousands of Victorian families, these aren’t hypothetical worries — they’re daily realities.

As the cost-of-living crisis continues to bite, more parents are being forced to make heartbreaking choices between paying bills and providing essential items for their children.

That’s why Our Village’s Double Donation Day is so important.

For a limited time, every dollar donated will be matched, helping twice as many vulnerable babies and children receive the warm clothing, safe sleeping spaces, prams and essentials they need to thrive.

Because every child deserves to feel safe, warm and cared for — regardless of their family’s circumstances.

Read the powerful story behind this life-changing appeal and discover how a single act of kindness can create double the impact. 💛
