Lighthouse Foundation's Mums'N Bubs Program supports a group of young mums (15-22 years) and their babies living in Melbourne who are victims of/or at risk of long term homelessness and abuse. The Mums'N Bubs Program aims to break the vicious cycle of long term homelessness and abuse by providing to the young mums and their infants: a safe home, a sense of family, live in carers who act as role models, medical and psychological treatment as needed and much more. It ensures that the mums bond with their babies and develop a healthy family framework in which to raise their infants, as well as creating connections to the wider community.
My best friend Nat is on the committee for this wonderful charity and asked if I would donate a painting for their Auction they have at a lunch the raises money for the program, special speaker this year being Governor General Quentin Bryce!
I'm not the only one donating, some fine members of IA are also donating, thank you to them.
The Lighthouse Foundation also helps in other areas of the community, to find out more: www.lighthousefoundation.org.au
Here is my painting and I hope it can fetch some money for the charity
