Love, Hope & Gratitude
From every wound there is a scar, and every scar tells a story. A story that says “I survived.”

The Love Hope and Gratitude Foundation raises community awareness and brings hope, love and support to those who need it most, because no woman, man, child or animal should ever have to live in fear. We invite you to join us in helping to stop domestic violence and end the suffering.
Currently in Australia, two women die through domestic violence every week, and one child every two weeks, not counting the hundreds who are injured.
Look at the people around you, right now.
She could be…
- any age, any size, any hair colour, any eye colour
- wealthy, homeless, or anywhere in between
- of any language, nationality or country
- the well-groomed lady in the BMW beside you at the lights
- the softly spoken woman you see each day on public transport
- the young mother in the playground with her two small children
- the cleaner at your children's school
- the person who serves your morning coffee
- in the same business meeting that you are
- your boss, your employee, your friend, your family member
She may not even be a woman. He could be any one of the above. He or she could be you.
Domestic violence does not discriminate by age, gender, race or social standing. The sad reality is that it can affect anyone, anywhere, anytime, and its fallout reaches furthest into the lives of children and pets, the victims who suffer in silence.
