Since receiving the Little Friends Scholarship, my daughter has been able to continue her dream of becoming a dancer and has really excelled this term with her dancing. She has her first competition coming up. Thank you so much Friends with Dignity for helping her dream come true

This funding has been incredibly helpful for the family, especially as they needed financial support while rebuilding their lives after experiencing significant domestic violence. The family felt a huge sense of relief in being able to purchase the children’s school uniforms after having to move schools for safety reasons, and the two girls (12 and 14) have adapted well to their new school. I cannot thank the Little Friends Scholarship enough for this support. Please continue providing this fundamental assistance to the most vulnerable families.

My daughter and I are very grateful for the amount of money paid directly to the school for her school fees and charges for this school year. We can't thank you enough, Friends with Dignity, for making us feel that we are not forgotten, there is hope and that there is a light at the end of our dark tunnel. Thank you.

My son's school uniforms, which included an Instrumental Band Shirt, were provided by the Little Friends Scholarship. With the Band Shirt being provided, he was able to participate in an interschool Band competition playing trombone and they placed Silver! He wouldn't have been able to perform without the shirt and we are forever grateful for the scholarship.

The Little Friends Scholarship has helped pay for my child’s school fees and basketball fees, which has allowed me to contribute to new school/sports uniforms. The extra help from the Little Friends Scholarship has not only assisted with school attendance, but also his self-esteem as he did not have to feel left out from attending sports with his peers and was not ostracised for wearing old clothes. Little Friends Scholarship has definitely been a god send and we are so grateful for the financial assistance.

I'm so grateful for the Little Friends Scholarship!! It went towards uniform and school supplies for my daughter starting kindergarten this year. Thank you again. I wouldn't have been able to do it without the help!!

I would like to sincerely thank the Little Friends Scholarship program for helping to pay for my son's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu fees. He was lacking confidence following some unfortunate events. He is now only 2 stripes away from progressing to a grey-white belt & is still only 5 years old. It is clear that this training has helped his overall demeaner and his ability to defend himself has given him more courage and confidence. We are very grateful for the support.

Father of 5yo boy (QLD)

This client had very high costs associated with separation with the person using violence. This meant she was falling behind with school fees. The scholarship meant that the 13yo child could stay at the school he is so settled in. He has gone on to get his first after school job and is very proud of himself. It helped create the stability in his life he needed to thrive.

This scholarship has really helped in supporting a 14yo boy in need, to allow him to participate in electives that where normally unavailable to him. Thank you.

Without this my 10yo granddaughter wouldn't be able to do her favourite sport! We are so appreciative. xx
