Watch: My kids now have a chance for a better future

The Smith Family needs your support for their Winter Appeal.

With one in seven young Australians living below the poverty line, this support is more critical than ever.

Karmilya is a single mum of four, but caring for her youngest daughter – who has cystic fibrosis – meant the money wasn’t there for her other children’s school essentials and the extra learning support they needed.

Thanks to The Smith Family, Karmilya’s children now have complete uniforms, money for excursions and access to education support programs, such as after-school Learning Clubs.

For eldest daughter Chenoa, getting assistance with her homework through a volunteer tutor at Learning Club has given her so much confidence that she’s even able to help other students.

Her mum Karmilya is grateful there were people willing to help her and her family when they needed support. Watch the video to find out more about their story.
