Gidget Giving Day 2023

DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT on Wednesday 21 June... so that Gidget Foundation Australia can support more families like Maria's, who are in need of the free specialist support that your donation will generously enable.

In 2023, it is our ambitious goal to raise $200,000 in 24 hours that will allow us to provide complete care to 66 of the most vulnerable expectant and new parents nationally.

Thanks to some of our most generous supporters, all donations will be DOUBLED FOR 24 HOURS ONLY!

Donations doubled: 9:00am Wed 21 June AEST - 9:00am Thu 22 June AEST.

All donations are tax deductible.

THANK YOU to our generous Giving Day Matchers:

Charles Warman Foundation

Eureka Benevolent Fund

K&J Prendiville Foundation

Recent research conducted by Gidget Foundation Australia revealed that one in three (36%) expectant and new parents say they have a strong community network supporting them through parenthood while one in five (20%) don't have a community they can call on to support them.  

Having your donation doubled means that your kindness is multiplied and the ripple effect becomes even more impactful for the expectant and new parents in need of a community of support! 

Maria's Story

“Baby isn’t compatible with life; this is a saying we heard a few times. ‍

You think at five months pregnant you are pretty safe, I mean by that stage you are buying things for the nursery, and clothes, you NEVER hear about termination for medical reasons, it’s just something people don’t talk about.

As quickly as we got to meet Anastasia, she was gone and it broke us, instead of leaving with a newborn baby we left with a box of a little outfit that she wore for the night.

Thankfully, I was made aware of Gidget Foundation Australia through my workplace and Gidget Ambassador, Davina Smith.

I was able to see an amazing Gidget Clinician who guided me through pregnancy after loss.

My husband and I were supported to navigate some of our darkest days, Gidget Foundation Australia helped us get through the pregnancy milestones that were a constant reminder of our previous loss.

Three months after Anastasia was born, we were blessed to fall pregnant again.

Anastasia sent us a little sister.

Sofia was born healthy 16/2/2022."

"Pregnancy after loss was the hardest; what are milestones for some, were a constant reminder of fear.”

Maria, Gidget Angel.
