Donate now to help us reach them

Donate to Kids Helpline, so when it feels too much, someone is always there to answer.

It's night time. A boy is on the phone to Kids Helpline. He says, "It felt like too much."

Late one night, 14-year-old Harry sat alone in his bedroom, worrying about the ‘D’ he got in his maths exam. He felt that familiar knot in his chest part stress, part embarrassment, part not really knowing how to explain it. Harry didn’t know if anyone would understand - or if it was even worth saying anything at all. In that moment, everything came down to a single decision: reach out for help or stay silent.

Every call matters. Every gift matters.

Your donation helps ensure young people like Harry know where to turn and never feel like they have to choose silence.

Thankfully, Harry chose to reach out to Kids Helpline that night, and that conversation changed everything. But even after 35 years, too many young people still don't know this support is there, and in that moment, they stay silent.

You can help change that. All it takes is one small moment a short conversation, a passing comment, or a small donation to make all the difference.

Your tax-deductible donation before June 30 can make sure every call for help is answered. You can be the reason the next call for help gets answered. 

All donations over $2 are tax deductible.

"When that last school bell rings at the end of term, there will be children and young people cut off from their main supports. Not only have they lost school as their safe place, but local services will also shut down."
