No woman ever chooses to be vulnerable. But right now, the rising costs of living are leaving people in situations they have never before experienced.
Women like Naima, come to Dress for Success when they are ready to start their next chapter, but the barriers to getting there seem overwhelming.
But with the support of caring people like you, they can discover fresh hope and new beginnings.
Simply by giving one hour of your pay today, you can transform her entire future.
Your one hour can impact the rest of her life!
Naima arrived in Australia as a young asylum seeker from Kenya. She was already a survivor of war in Somalia and had lived a life that many people born in Australia could never imagine.
But after arriving in Australia, Naima found herself homeless and then became pregnant.
When Naima was ready to find employment, she found herself without the appropriate clothes and didn’t have money to buy anything other than essentials for her baby. That's when she found Dress for Success.
“When the stylist came over to help me, I broke down and cried. She told me that I was in a safe place,” said Naima.
It’s because of compassionate supporters like you Michael, that Naima had her entire life transformed that day.
Naima left Dress for Success with clothing and accessories for an entire week of work.
“They were not just shopping bags to me, they meant so much more,” she said.
You can empower a woman to change her future today, simply by giving her just one hour of your salary.
Nobody’s circumstances should hold them back from going after their goals and dreams.
Naima’s life has changed so much from when she first walked into Dress For Success. She has a job that she loves, and it allows her the flexibility to be home with her family at night for dinner.
She is passionate about paying it forward and helping other women needing support, just like she needed it.
International Women’s Day is on the 8th of March. Please give one hour to support vulnerable women everywhere.
Thank you for your being part of this strong community supporting women. Thank you for transforming lives.
