May 02, 2024
Thank you to Domestic Violence Action Centre for such a heartwarming evening!
Heartwarming to see so many people come together for the Domestic Violence Action Centre Walk Against Domestic Violence and Remembrance Cereomony.
Heartbreaking to know another 29 women have lost their lives this year already.
The shoes lined up as a symbol of never forgetting the women and children taken is something that is etched on our hearts and minds.
It was so wonderful to see the community support there and schools! xx
A huge thank you! A huge thank you to James from Southern Queensland Correctional Centre (Women’s Reintegration Programs) who recently won a Schulte's meat voucher and on-gifted it to Protea Place. Such a thoughtful gesture and so appreciated!
Today, we had the absolute honour of handing over the keys of a new home to Jenny and Lulu. A most deserving lady and her fur baby are now safe after 8 months of homelessness with her precious fur baby. After 5 1/2 months sleeping in the park she found her way to Protea Place. She then spent 2 1/2 months in emergency accommodation but she never gave up and neither did we With a massive thanks to: Our incredible partners from Beddown . The Good Night Initiative for jumping in to help. To the wonderful team from Footprints Community . To the Housing Older Women Support Service for their generous contribution towards our Welcome Home Project. To the Team from the Toowoomba Housing and the Toowoomba Housing Service Centre . To the Protea Place team for their unrelenting integrated case management and advocacy. To the lady who stopped us in Kmart when we were buying items for this home and gave a $100 voucher towards the cost! To all of our supporters who make our work possible She’s Home. She’s Safe. Thank you xx
A massive thank you! Shout out to Warwick Town & Country Vets who generously supported one of our clients this week and her much loved pet who have been experiencing homelessness. When families are displaced, so are their fur babies. This little family has now been assisted into temporary accommodation until a forever home can be secured. The Protea Place team responded quickly to create a solution. The housing crisis is having devastating impacts in rural and regional areas and we are working hard to help where we can. Thank you to Cornerstone Homelessness Services in Warwick for all you do and helping to create a safe pathway for this family. Collaboration is the key at Protea Place!
