Simon is a man who’s motivated by a particular gratitude that perhaps only comes when experiencing tough times. While Simon and his wife, Eva, now live a comfortable life on the NSW Central Coast, things haven’t always been easy for this couple. This, says Simon, is one of the reasons they prioritise regular support of charities that help other people experiencing hardship.
“For us, having had difficulties ourselves in the past, being able to give is rewarding in many ways,” says Simon. “It reminds us of where we were which helps us feel grateful for where we are today, in the fortunate position where we can pass on our support to others so they too can get to a better place in life.”
Simon and Eva make regular donations to Wesley Mission via a monthly direct debit. It’s a convenient way for them to easily maintain their continued support for people in need. They also give one-off donations to particular appeals, or when they feel they can. In addition, the couple has left gifts to Wesley Mission in their Wills so their impacts can be long-lasting.
“We know that our gifts to Wesley Mission will be used on services that change people’s lives in a way that’s sustainable, rather than one-off solutions” says Simon. “We’ve always been made to feel valued as supporters and for that, we also feel so grateful.”
Regular monthly donations help care for the most vulnerable people in our community. By becoming a regular donor you too can have a powerful impact on people in need and give them hope again. Sign up now at wesleymission.org.au/regulargiving
