1 in 20 children aged 5-18 in Australia experience the death of a parent before their 18th birthday (ABS 2023 census data); that is one child in every classroom in the State of Victoria.
Wombat's Wish supports children and young people who have had a parent die.
Wombat's Wish operates this valuable service by providing weekend grief programs for children and the surviving parent/carer, 1:1 or group counselling support, online support lounges, and family social days at no cost to the families or children.
I am also inviting you to the community event - Sunday 17th November 2024 from 10am to 3pm at Portarlington Cricket Club - Sproat Road Portarlington. This is a family day with entertainment, live music, market stalls, children's entertainment, raffle, silent auctions and much more.
Help support this cause by creating your own 'CrowdRaiser' fundraising page.

Wombat’s Wish acknowledges the Wadawarrung, Taungurung and Bunurong peoples as Traditional Custodians of the lands from which we live and work, and pay our deep respect to their Elders past, present and emerging.
