Loneliness and hopelessness go hand-in-hand, all too often leading to high-risk situations and depression. A kind word or caring listener is often enough to make the difference - that's what Givlife exists for.
We reach out and take the hand of those in distress and lost in the multi-cultural, mixed ethnicity south eastern metro region of Perth - we give hope in life.
When a young family, expecting their second-child were faced with the heart-wrenching news that their three-year-old little boy urgently needed open-heart surgery to survive, they turned to Givlife. We held their hand with financial support to buy a special bed, car-seat and provide food and fuel vouchers.
We work in the local community to support people who are in situations of suffering, destitution, sickness or distress, irrespective of race, creed or religious belief.
We have been operating since 2008 as a registered public beneficiary institute (PBI), with Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status.
