Bringing light into Garry’s life

As Christmas nears, the HammondCare Foundation invites you to help bring joy and connection to thousands of people battling loneliness. 

Struggling with multiple health conditions and chronic pain, Garry has limited mobility and little family contact. Garry rarely leaves the house and has little connection with the outside world.

Thanks to Alan, a HammondCare Volunteer, Garry now has companionship which provides him a “lifeline”. Alan’s regular visits brighten Garry’s week as they share friendship, a common love of music, faith and laughter.

HammondCare’s 800 volunteers offer incredible support to thousands like Garry, but there is an ever-increasing need. This Christmas, your donation could help bring the warmth of human connection and make a difference to those who need it most

HammondCare-(14)

Relying solely on donated funds, our goal is to expand this program from 3 to 17 residential care sites, bringing enough trained animals to engage and offer support to more than 2,000 aged care residents .
