Leukaemia Foundation – Health
Your blood really is a remarkable thing. It keeps you alive by giving your body what it needs, taking away what it doesn’t and fighting off infection. But more than 110,000 people in Australia are living with the devastating impact of blood cancer and it’s one of the biggest causes of cancer death. It’s a cancer of your blood and immune systems, preventing them from doing what they need to keep you alive and healthy. Blood cancer develops in the places of your body where blood is made, but its exact cause is unknown. A range of things affect someone’s chance of surviving blood cancer and it can be incurable. There are many different types of blood cancer and together they are among the most prevalent and deadly cancers in Australia today. The most common types of blood cancer are called lymphoma, leukaemia and myeloma.
Homelessness
Established in 2010, Sheltered by Grace is a not-for-profit organisation based in Logan, Queensland that exists to make a real difference in the lives of the homeless. We are not government funded and our focus is on the provision of supported accommodation and dedicated programs for men and women over the age of 25 suffering from trauma that has led to homelessness.
Offering 24-hour supported accommodation alongside case management our programs are person centred (designed for the individual), trauma informed (acknowledges the impact of trauma) and designed to really help people get their lives back on track rather than just band aid problems.
