Time is running out to reduce your tax bill through a charitable donation to Support Act: click here to do so now
We wrote to you recently to ask if you can donate to our winter appeal. If this email has crossed with your donation, please accept our gratitude for your support. It really does make a huge difference.
You know all of the people Support Act helps. You may not know their names. You might not have met them. But you know them. You know the roadie who lives alone on welfare after carrying boxes on his back for 30 years…..you know the musician who played with all of them but didn’t save for that rainy day that eventually came……..you know the singer who was a household name and died without any money for a coffin……. You know them, because they are your people. And they are our people.
You can meet one of those people now. Danny Widdicombe is a Brisbane based musician and Support Act service user whose leukaemia diagnosis threatened him with the poverty line. In Danny’s words, “Support Act saved my family”. Click this image to hear Danny tell his story.
Support Act receives no government funding and competes with 600,000 other Australian charities for donations. We urgently need to raise $50,000 before 30 June to continue providing our vital service. And so we turn to you. Donate here.
I have no doubt that you are asked to donate to good causes all the time. But how many times are you offered an opportunity to make the difference between pain and comfort; to make the difference between despair and hope; to make the difference between humiliation and dignity and even to make the difference between life and death?
That is what I am asking you to do today. Any donation you can make will make a difference to people like Danny. You can donate easily and quickly here. All donations over $2 will benefit from a tax deductible receipt. If your donation has crossed with our email, thank you for your support.
Please be as generous as you can be – Support Act is your charity.
Best wishes,
Joanna Cave
Chief Executive
Support Act
p.s don’t forget to make your donation by 30 June to claim your tax deduction this year!
