Congratulations to Jenny and Lulu
9 May 2024
Today, we had the absolute honour of handing over the keys of a new home to Jenny and Lulu.
A most deserving lady and her fur baby are now safe after 8 months of homelessness with her precious fur baby. After 5 1/2 months sleeping in the park she found her way to Protea Place. She then spent 2 1/2 months in emergency accommodation but she never gave up and neither did we
With a massive thanks to:
- Our incredible partners from Beddown.
- The Good Night Initiative for jumping in to help.
- To the wonderful team from Footprints Community.
- To the Housing Older Women Support Service for their generous contribution towards our Welcome Home Project.
- To the Team from the Toowoomba Housing and the Toowoomba Housing Service Centre.
- To the Protea Place team for their unrelenting integrated case management and advocacy.
- To the lady who stopped us in Kmart when we were buying items for this home and gave a $100 voucher towards the cost!
- To all of our supporters who make our work possible
She’s Home. She’s Safe. Thank you xx
Happy International Women's Day 2025 from Millmerran! Yesterday was an absolutely beautiful day with the Millmerran Collective and community, filled with incredible generosity! We are beyond excited to announce that they raised an overwhelming $45,000 towards our Protea Place Women’s Accommodation Project! This brings our total to a remarkable $941,061, bringing us even closer to purchasing a property in 2025 to provide safe haven for vulnerable women in our region.
