Let’s bring it home. I’ve dropped off to a number of different Bunnings Warehouse Australia are donations seem slow - we need more. Please help 💞

I’m really worried. With only two days left of , my heart is in my throat because we are nowhere near where we need to be.

We’ve collected 55,785 bags so far. Our goal is 150,000. But to be very honest, requests from our charity partners have already exploded past 170,000. That number keeps me up at night. It means there are tens of thousands of women and girls who may miss out on something so simple and so human.

The last few weeks have been extraordinary to watch. I’ve gone from laughing to crying to wanting to throw my arms around every single one of you who has already stepped up. But as time runs out, the weight of what we are facing is hitting hard.

Because, as amazing as our community is, we have never been able to meet every request. Seeing the need climb this high has been overwhelming, and knowing we won’t be able to say yes to everyone is honestly devastating.

But I’m clinging to hope. I still believe we can reach 150,000 bags if we rally right now.

If you’ve already donated, thank you. Truly. You’ve helped us get this far.

If you haven’t yet, or if you’ve got anything left to give, I’m asking you to spread the word. Tell your mates. Share it online. Text someone who cares. These next 48 hours matter more than ever.

If each of us got just one more person to donate, we could make a massive dent in that number.

Let’s finish strong. Let’s show up for the women and girls who need us most. Two days left. Let’s make every moment count.

With love and urgency,
Rochelle x 🩷
