It is the brainchild of Sonia Donaldson who blogs at Natural New Age Mum. Sonia decided she wanted to take action in response to the high incidence of domestic violence in Australia so she put the word out to some of her blogging buddies in the food, health and wellness area and Aussie Wellness Women was born.
Our first project has been to put together 'From Our Kitchen to Yours'. All monies raised from the sale of the e-book go to the Luke Batty Foundation, our goal is to raise $200,000 and we would love your support either through buying the e-book and or sharing details of our project and goal to your family and friends.
In addition to the e-book Aussie Wellness Women have organised a nation wide donation drop of items such as unused bed linen, women's clothing, vouchers to supermarkets or department stores, this Saturday 27th February to support women and children at refuges. Very often women and children arrive with only the clothes they are wearing. Details of where you can donate and what is needed in your state can be found here.
**The Melbourne one is at Street Organics 1430 High Street Malvern between 8am and 4pm.**
Together we can all make a difference.
Thanks in advance for your support.
**If you or someone you love is experiencing domestic violence or sexual assault you can call 1800 737 732 information and support is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week**
This is a lovely initiative Nikki!
