The season can come with all sorts of pressures. Money worries, relationship stresses, family dynamics, comparisons with others – sometimes Christmas can feel like a ‘perfect storm’ of expectations, increasing feelings of loneliness for many.
Today, 4,000 people will reach out to Lifeline, and sadly, nine Australians will lose their struggle with suicide. But you can help people find the connection they need by making a $39 gift to Lifeline to ensure no call for help goes unanswered. $39 is all it takes to answer another call. That call could be the one that saves a life.
Finding a way through the holiday season is easier with someone by your side, someone like Lifeline, who can listen without judgment and keep you safe.
Give the gift of connection this Christmas. A moment of connection and understanding that says ‘You are not alone.’
The highest demand for our services ever.
We are currently experiencing levels of demand that exceed anything in Lifeline’s history.
The highest ever daily demand was recorded recently on 7th October, with a total of 4,405 calls for help to Lifeline via phone, text or chat. That’s 4,405 human-to-human connections with people who are actively reaching out for support in their darkest moments.
A gift to Lifeline can ensure that none of these calls go unanswered.
- $39 could answer one more call
- $117 could answer 3 more calls
- $500 could leave a lasting gift to help many and
- $3,500 could train a volunteer crisis supporter to answer calls
- or you can give a gift that fits your budget.
