Support kids in care this tax time

June 28, 2017/in Community, Donate, Latest News, The Pyjama Foundation Blog /by ydsdevpyjama

Everyday across Australia, children wake up in warm safe beds, have a healthy breakfast, head off to school in clean clothes and then come home each night to a loving family. A family who feeds them, helps them with their homework, reads story books to them and most importantly, makes them feel safe and loved.

Unfortunately, in our lucky country, there are over 51,000 children who have not grown up like this. For these children, their early years have not been warm and safe.

Narissa’s story: how a mentor changed my life

June 28, 2017/in Community, Donate, Latest News, The Pyjama Foundation Blog /by ydsdevpyjama

After the loss of her father, Narissa entered the foster care system at just eight years old.

Separated from her mother who struggled with mental illness, Narissa began her life bouncing from home to home, eventually living with six different families throughout her time in foster care.

Now 21, Narissa is sharing her experiences of growing up in foster care to help foster children, and how one special ‘Pyjama Angel’ changed her life.
