Find Your Feet Foundation

31/08/2026

8 years ago today, Find Your Feet Foundation began.

What started as a vision inspired and funded by the quiet philanthropy of my paternal grandmother, Pam, became a practical home of support. The first foundation house was named in her honour — Pam’s Place — and over time it provided hundreds of nights of safe accommodation for family groups navigating crisis.

As we grew, the practical realities and overheads of securing additional properties showed us a clearer path. By shifting to a grant model, we could reach more families each year and since that change, we have been humbled by the number of applications and by the chance to connect people with broader support services and community networks. We have now paid out 8 grants — each one a small but meaningful step for a household trying to find solid ground again.

We are deeply grateful to every sponsor who has given ongoing financial support. Special thanks to the recent feature in and the resulting uptake in sponsorship, and to for the donation from the YOUI Rugby Player of the of the Month - your generosity made a huge difference!

As we mark this anniversary, change is also on the horizon. In September we look forward to welcoming a new and dynamic board member who will help shape the next chapter.

None of this happens alone. Heartfelt thanks to everyone who has helped begin, inspire and steady this work, and especially to our Board and .goodchild for their ongoing commitment, wisdom and support. Thanks also to , and it is a privilege to work with you.

If you would like to support WA families through sponsorship, the link is in our bio under 'Get Involved’. So many ways to feel fulfilled and do good.👣

We remain focused on the same simple aim: helping people in Western Australia find their feet when life has knocked them sideways. Grateful for the journey so far, and for everyone walking it with us.

Shout out to Real Estate 88 for their annual donation to the Community Funded Rent Relief Grant.

This generous contribution will help support a struggling Western Australian family with the cost of renting during a difficult time.

Many people aren't aware that the Government Rent Relief Grant is generally only available to families who have already fallen into rental arrears, received a breach notice, and are at risk of having their lease terminated.

Unfortunately, this means that many hardworking families who prioritise paying their rent above everything else, often sacrificing groceries and other essentials to keep a roof over their heads don't qualify for assistance.

These are the families the Community Funded Rent Relief Grant was created to support. By coming together as a community, we can help ease the pressure of the rising cost of living and provide assistance before families reach crisis point.

Thank you, Real Estate 88, for helping make a difference in the lives of West Australian Families.

To continue with the update earlier this month revising how this foundation continues to adapt to support WA locals who have less 'traditional' circumstances, we have agreed to contribute to an incredible out of the box application!

This time, we are asking you to also donate, and the FYFF will match donations up to the value of $1,000 - which equals our standard maximum Grant amount.

Donations from you ARE tax deductible!

Option 1- Click on the link below and celebrate your generosity vibe directly, to Mikayla's GoFund Me Page.
*Please include 'FYFF' in your name for our tally 🫶🏽

Option 2- If you prefer not to use the GoFund Me platform and wish to pay by bank transfer to FYFF directly, head to the ‘About Us’ page of the website and select 'Request Bank Details’ to receive payment information.
We will also email you a tax deductible receipt 🧡

Additionally, up until the end of March 2026, funds received from ALL 10c containers that are donated to the FYFF charity (Member Number C11455393) will be added to the $1,000 tally of this initiative.
Our website also has a link to depot locations ♻️

Help us reframe the stereotypical avenues and needs for fundraising to provide support, together, we can help this deserving duo find their feet, safely.

Big update from the Find Your Feet Foundation ❤️
We’ve just paid out our 7th rental grant subsidy to local WA families – and we’re truly humbled by the positive difference it’s making right across our state, from Perth to regional communities.
Every grant helps ease rent stress and gives families the support they need.
We’re continuing to explore and adapt the ways our grants can provide help – especially for those whose living situations don’t fit the usual mould.

More information coming soon!

Good news: We’re still accepting applications!
Open to families in metro and regional WA.
