✨✨ The Essentials Access Program ✨✨

Over the past few months, we have seen an increasing number of women and families accessing our Essentials Access Program. This program allows our clients to choose the everyday items they need in a way that promotes dignity, choice and independence during some of the most difficult times in their lives.

As more families come through our doors, our shelves are beginning to empty.

Many of the women we support have fled family and domestic violence, are experiencing homelessness, have recently arrived in Australia, or are navigating significant financial hardship. For some, the Essentials Access Program is the only place they can access basic household and personal items without cost.

Today, we are reaching out to our community.

We urgently require donations of essential items to help us continue keeping our shelves stocked for the women and children who rely on this program.

Please see the attached flyer for the items currently needed.

If you are able to donate, whether it is one item or a trolley full, please know that your generosity helps restore dignity, ease hardship and remind our families that they are not alone.

Together, we can ensure no mother has to choose between food, hygiene items or the essentials her children need.

Some stories are not ours to tell.

This sister has endured more than any person should ever have to experience. Out of respect for her dignity and privacy, we will not share the details. What matters is that she survived, and now she is fighting to rebuild her life.

Since coming into our care, we have worked tirelessly to ensure she receives the medical support she urgently needs. This has included appointments with doctors, an eye specialist, an audiologist, radiology services, pathology testing, and ongoing medication from the chemist.

As she is not eligible for government assistance or benefits, every appointment, scan, test, and prescription must be funded through community support.

We are making progress. However, there are still critical tests and scans that cannot be delayed. These appointments are essential in helping medical professionals understand the full extent of the impact the abuse has had on her health and wellbeing.

We are urgently seeking $2,000 to cover her remaining medical expenses and outstanding appointments.

If you would like to help this sister continue her journey towards healing, any contribution, no matter how small, will make a difference.

If you are unable to donate, please keep this sister in your prayers and share this post so it can reach someone who may be able to help.

Together, we can help ensure that her future is not defined by what was done to her, but by the strength she has shown in overcoming it.

🌍 THRIVE ON THIRTY – Meals That Matter
🇵🇰 Episode 1: Pakistan

Can you help us create food hampers for families doing it tough?

Our first Thrive on Thirty video tutorial has already been released, giving our community the opportunity to cook alongside us, recreate the meal at home, and see exactly what families receiving these hampers will be following along with in their own kitchens.

This week we are featuring a traditional Pakistani meal that can feed a family while staying within a $30 budget. We are asking our community to donate the ingredients listed on the poster so we can pack hampers and provide families with both the ingredients and the video tutorial to guide them through the recipe step-by-step.

🛒 Choose one ingredient, a few ingredients, or sponsor an entire hamper.

📍 Donations can be dropped off to:
Sisters Hand in Hand Inc.
Unit 1, 10-12 Harvard Way, Canning Vale

📅 Donations close Friday 19 June 2026.

🍲 THRIVE ON 30: EPISODE 1 – PAKISTAN 🇵🇰

Welcome to the very first episode of Thrive on 30: Meals That Matter.

Today, Mehwish Saleem welcomes us into her kitchen to share her family's beloved Chicken Yakhni Pulao, a dish rich in flavour, tradition and cherished memories from Punjab, Pakistan.

Traditionally, Yakhni Pulao is often prepared using mutton and a rich stock, although many families also prepare it with chicken. For the purpose of the Thrive on 30 challenge, Mehwish carefully adapted her family's recipe to remain within the $30 budget while still preserving the heart of the dish and the flavours she grew up with.

In many ways, this reflects the story of food throughout history. Across every culture and every generation, families have adapted recipes due to war, migration, displacement, poverty, rising costs, changing circumstances, or simply because certain ingredients were unavailable. The meals may change slightly, but the traditions, memories and love behind them remain.

One of the beautiful lessons Mehwish discovered during this challenge was that budgeting and planning can make a tremendous difference. While feeding six people for $30 was not easy, it showed that with creativity, preparation and resourcefulness, families can still enjoy diverse, nourishing meals inspired by their cultural roots.

As you watch, we invite you to enjoy not only the recipe itself, but the story behind it. The laughter, the memories, the traditions passed down through generations, and the resilience that has always existed around family tables all over the world.

Because food is more than what we eat. It is culture, connection, history and hope.

We welcome you to join in on Thrive on Thirty, follow for the next posts for ways you can join, be a part of the project and make a difference. ❤️

✨✨ Thrive on 30 – Episode 1: Pakistan
Featuring Mehwish Saleem
Premieres 14 June 2026 ✨✨

Welcome to the very first episode of Thrive on 30, a community-driven initiative that brings together families, cultures and affordable cooking to show that nutritious, flavour-filled meals can be created on a budget.

Our first stop is Pakistan, where we meet Mehwish Saleem, a devoted mother of five whose love for cooking brings her family together around the dining table. Her children eagerly anticipate the traditional dishes she prepares, each meal carrying the flavours, memories and traditions of home. 🇵🇰

Originally from Punjab, Pakistan, Mehwish chose to share one of her favourite family recipes, Chicken Yakhni Pulao, for the Thrive on 30 challenge. This beloved dish has been passed down through generations and remains a favourite among her grandmother, mother, sisters and wider family.

When welcoming our team into her home, Mehwish embraced the challenge of creating a meal to feed six people on a $30 budget. She admitted it was definitely a challenge, but found the experience incredibly rewarding. Through careful planning, budgeting and creativity, she discovered that it is possible to prepare a wholesome, nourishing and culturally rich meal without spending a fortune.

For Mehwish, this challenge was about much more than cooking. It was an opportunity to share a piece of her culture, honour the traditions that shaped her, and reflect on the cherished memories created around family meals. She hopes her recipe inspires others to explore new flavours, embrace budgeting with confidence, and discover how food can connect us to our families, our heritage and one another.

Join us on 14 June 2026 as we launch Episode 1: Pakistan, and follow along as Mehwish shares her family's treasured Chicken Yakhni Pulao recipe, proving that with planning, creativity and a little love, great meals don't have to come with a high price tag.

💔 URGENT SUPPORT NEEDED 💔

This week, a number of agencies came together to support a sister facing an incredibly difficult situation.

Without sharing details that could compromise her safety, what we can tell you is this:

Two tickets were booked for her journey.

Only one ticket was booked for the return.

Today, she is safe.

But safety does not immediately solve everything that comes after.

She has arrived with very little.

She has children depending on her.

She has less than $20 to her name.

While agencies, lawyers and support services are working tirelessly to assist her, these processes take time. Unfortunately, groceries, medical appointments, clothing and daily living expenses cannot wait.

At present, she is not eligible for Centrelink. Her Medicare application is still being processed. Her legal matters are underway, but legal support does not pay for food, medication, transport or children's essentials.

To make matters more difficult, concerns have been raised regarding her health, and urgent medical investigations have been recommended. Some of these tests alone are expected to cost approximately $300.

As winter settles in, she and her children are also in need of warm clothing, essential items and support to help them navigate these first critical weeks.

This mother did not imagine she would be starting over with so little.

No parent plans for the day they have to worry about how they will afford a medical test, buy groceries, keep their children warm and rebuild their life all at once.

Yet here she is.

And today, we are asking our community to stand beside her.

Whether it is a donation, a gift card, warm winter clothing, children's essentials, or simply sharing this post, every act of kindness makes a difference.

Sizing information for the mother and children will be provided privately to those who would like to assist with clothing donations.

If you would like to support this family, please send us a private message or donate directly using the details below:

🎉🍽️ IT'S OFFICIAL! 🍽️🎉

Welcome to THRIVE ON THIRTY – Meals That Matter 🌏❤️

A community-driven project that brings together culture, education, connection and practical support for families experiencing the pressures of rising living costs.

So, how does it work?

👩‍🍳 Step 1: We have 12 incredible collaborators from different cultural backgrounds who have generously volunteered to share a meal from their culture that can feed a family for around $30. Each collaborator will record a cooking tutorial, sharing not only a recipe but also a piece of their culture, traditions and story.

📦 Step 2: The ingredients needed for each meal will be donated by our community and packed into hampers by our amazing volunteers, complete with recipe cards.

🏡 Step 3: Families will collect their meal hampers from Sisters Hand in Hand and take them home.

📱 Step 4: Families can then cook alongside the recorded tutorial, following step-by-step instructions from our collaborators while learning a new recipe and experiencing a different culture.

But Thrive on Thirty is about so much more than food.

It's about a community coming together to support one another.

It's about sharing knowledge instead of keeping it.

It's about celebrating the incredible cultures that make up our community.

It's about practical solutions during challenging economic times.

And it's about ensuring that support is delivered in a way that is engaging, educational and empowering.

🌏 12 cultures.
🍽️ 12 meals.
❤️ One community.

From the person donating ingredients, to the volunteer packing hampers, to the collaborator sharing their culture, to the family cooking at home—everyone becomes part of the solution.

This is multiculturalism in action.

This is community supporting community.

This is THRIVE ON THIRTY – Meals That Matter.
