Support my challenge to care for young Western Australians

Every school day across Western Australia, 250,000 students walk into a school where someone knows their name. In 2025, YouthCARE chaplains and volunteers showed up in 600 school communities and 38 sporting clubs across the state, from the Kimberley to the Great Southern.

They sat with students navigating hard things, served nearly 700,000 meals through Breakfast Club, delivered 30,760 wellbeing sessions, and supported more than 10,000 athletes and their families on the sidelines.

260,000 people. One consistent presence. Ridiculously good care.

Your support helps provide ridiculously good care to young Western Australians.

📸PHOTOGRAPHY MAY MINI SESSIONS - SUPPORTING YOUTHCARE

Hi Friends!


This May 
I’m fundraising for YouthCARE, for their RIDICULOUSLY GOOD campaign & I'm very excited!

I’ve been working as a School Chaplain for roughly 7 years and most of my days are made up of little memorable moments, such as a preparing a forgotten lunch, comforting a crying 10 year old whose pet just died, holding the hand of a 6 year old who misses her mum, a specky high-5 on the oval, listening to a year 4 boy who wants to build lego or a passing smile to a parent who's dealing with a lot.

I love these moments and they matter. Being someone's safe person, to help guide them, listen to them is not something I take lightly.

YouthCARE invests in us so we can show up for these kids every day and I get to be part of that.

If you’d like to support this work while also capturing some special moments with your family (and or pet!), I’m offering two options this May.
