Help a Mum in need this Mothers Day by donating to Share the Dignity

With the cost of living increasing, there are more than 3 million people in Australia living below the poverty line.

You can help bring dignity to a new Mum who is doing it tough this mother's day by making a donation which will provide a beautiful mum and bub bag packed with all the essentials, and more.

These bags take a little bit of the pressure off so they can enjoy the first moments with their precious bub.

By making a donation towards a bag, you can help us reach our goal of packing 500 Mum and Bub Bags this Mother's Day!

Our goal is to raise $100,000 so we can help an additional 500 mums with Mum and Bub bags this Mother's Day.

A mum and bub bag contains products a new mum needs to help take care of her baby, and herself.

Your donation can make a big impact

Many of the mums who receive our bags can barely afford the basic essentials for themselves due to escaping domestic violence, let alone the essentials for their newborn.

These bags take a little bit of the pressure off so they can enjoy the first moments with their precious bub.

A mum and bub bag is so expensive to put together so it’s no surprise we never get enough bags to help the women in need.

We need your help to raise $100,000 so we can pack an additional 500 bags for new mums in need.

Why your support matters

Sarah, a mum-to-be, was escaping domestic violence at 39 weeks pregnant. She had no where to go but just knew for the safety of her baby she had to leave, she had no choice.

When she gave birth at the hospital one of our amazing charity partners arrived and greeted her with a mum and bub #ItsintheBag in hand.

Sarah was in tears, she didn't even have soap for herself let alone everything you need for a newborn. She was shaking as she looked through the bag and seeing all the things she didn't need to worry about straight away.

You can help a Mum like Sarah, by making a donation today.
