From House to Home, from Crisis to Hope Appeal

About this cause

“I moved into housing with nothing—not even a bed. The Bower helped me make it a home. I now have a job, shared custody of my daughter, and a place I can call mine.” – Serena, House to Home beneficiary

Donate today to the Bower’s From House to Home program to help turn an empty house into a real home for someone in desperate need.  

Sydney is facing a hidden crisis. While we celebrate placing 9,000 vulnerable families into social housing each year, we don't talk about what happens next.

Families - refugees, domestic violence survivors, youth aging out of care, and others escaping crisis - move into empty shells.

No bed, no fridge, no table for their children to do homework.

At the same time, Sydney sends 300,000 tonnes of reusable furniture to landfill annually. We have massive waste and massive need, existing side by side.

The Bower has worked for 25 years at the intersection of these problems. This year, we've furnished 75 homes  - from beds to washing machines - for people emerging from crisis.

Your gift —large or small—is tax-deductible and life-changing.  

For every $484 donated, at the Bower's From House to Home program, we can ensure that a family which has moved into a bare house with nothing after escaping domestic violence, homelessness or another crisis has a safe and happy Christmas in a fully furnished home.

If you can donate $484 to our Christmas appeal 'From Crisis to Hope', you will be transforming an entire family's life for the better. 

Of course, not everyone is in a position to donate $484. Not everyone needs to, to make a difference.

Whatever you can give no matter how small or how large will help transform lives this Christmas. 

“I can now sit in my lounge room with my 14 year old daughter Aimee*. We can have people over. Aimee can have her friends over. We have a home”  Fransisca

Your donation of just $5, $25, $50 or $100 can help a person or family in need get a coffee table, TV or sofa to be able to relax in their living room, a fridge or dining table to help enjoy a Christmas meal together, or even a bed for a child to go to sleep on Christmas eve instead of a mattress on the floor. 

Every $484 raised will help us support one more family move from house to home, and from crisis to hope.

Every single donation, no matter how small or how large will make a difference bridging the gap.

  Donate now and help someone turn a roof over their head into a place they can call home. 
"We’re so grateful for the furniture from the Bower and those in the community who support this program”   Anna, House to Home beneficiary

“The House to Home program is particularly impactful for our clients who are transitioning from homelessness to social housing… The House to Home program greatly assists other groups of people, including those who are escaping domestic and/or family violence, recently arrived as refugees or asylum seekers, and living in financial hardship and unable to afford essential household goods.”  Hannah Yeo, Services Manager, Neami National
