A Cuppa a Week

A small gesture. A big impact. A better life for a child in care.

Imagine this…

You grab your morning coffee or tea on the way to work. It’s a small comfort, something that brightens your day, grounds you in routine, and gives you that warm, familiar feeling.

Now, imagine if that same small comfort could be passed on to a child stepping into the unknown.
A child who’s just been removed from their home.
A child arriving in foster care with nothing but the clothes they’re wearing.
No pyjamas. No toothbrush. No soft toy to hold. No sense of safety.

For less than the cost of one cuppa a week, you can help us change that moment from one of fear… to one filled with care, dignity, and hope.

What Your Weekly Cuppa Could Do

When you join our Cuppa a Week program, your donation goes directly toward supporting our Crisis Case initiative, our most immediate and urgent service for children entering out-of-home care.

Each Crisis Case is a wheeled suitcase lovingly filled with around 55 essential items:

These cases cost around $155 to create, but their value is immeasurable.

They provide not just physical necessities, but emotional reassurance — a signal to a frightened child that someone cares. And to a foster carer who has just opened their door with only a moment’s notice, they provide the gift of relief and readiness.

A better Life for Foster Kids

It’s Not Just About the Coffee ☕️..

It’s about choosing to pour your kindness into

Something bigger.

Something lasting.

Something that changes lives in a moment that truly counts.

So next time you sip your cuppa, imagine that same warmth reaching a child in care.

A Little Love Letter

That suitcase wasn’t just filled with clothes… it was filled with love. It told my foster child that they mattered, and it told me I wasn’t doing this alone.

– Foster Carer, Gippsland
