One of the motivating factors behind my ‘comeback’ was to use my platform for good. Today we reached an incredible milestone with confirmation that through personal and public donations we’ve now raised and disbursed over $100,000. I want to thank everyone who has contributed in any way, large or small. Together we’ve helped rescue and care for the beautiful Sweep with @animalsasia and just made a further donation to contribute towards building a new sanctuary in Vietnam and rescue the remaining bears being abused in bear farms so we can end this cruel practice for good. Together we’ve just joined with my dear friend @dylanalcott to provide a $15k scholarship to help fund an Australian with a disability to pursue their dreams in the Arts space. Together we have provided much needed funds to the wonderful people at @equienergyyouth youth to help roll out their TAR3 program across the country to help young people in severe emotional stress. This week we are making a meaningful donation to @awabakal_ltd a locally based First Nations community organisation who in their own words “care for our people’s health, their teeth and their mental wellbeing. Help our people quit the smokes. Care for Mums to be, new Mums and their babies. We educate our kids, support our youth, help our people access the NDIS and provide care for our elders.” We’ve continued our support for @dog_rescue_newcastle including paying for the legendary Frenchie Bohdi’s skin treatment. We’ve adopted the iconic Bat ‘Scoundrel’ and continued our support for @batrescueinc We used our ‘Nup To The Cup’ campaign with @eddiezammit and @dizzylittledotty to make a donation to @horserescueaustralia We’ve continued our support for @supportact an incredible organisation doing amazing things. We’ve also made some confidential donations to individuals in need. It’s a privilege to be in a position to play a small part in positive change, it’s been inspiring to see so many of you making donations at a time when living costs are so high. A very special thank you to my friends at @auscommunities for making this process so seamless. …also swipe for a cute video feat. Gia and a 🦜 📸 -Nicole Reed
