In the quiet paddocks and dusty driveways of rural Australia, there’s a story that’s often unheard—one of endurance, hardship, and quiet resilience. For over two decades, Aussie Helpers has been dedicated to listening to these stories and offering real, practical support to farming families doing it tough.
Whether it’s delivering groceries during times of drought, providing mental health counselling, or helping with school supplies and feed for livestock, our team is on the ground year-round, ensuring no rural family is left behind. But our ability to keep doing this work relies not only on the generous donations we receive today, but on the foresight and compassion of those who include us in their wills.
Leaving a bequest to Aussie Helpers is a powerful way to extend your values into the future. It ensures that after you’ve gone, your care for rural communities’ lives on, helping generations of farming families who continue to face challenges from climate, isolation, and economic uncertainty.
Many people don’t realise that after providing for family and friends, a gift in your will, no matter how small — can make a lasting difference. It might be the tank of fuel that helps a volunteer reach a struggling farmer, a week of groceries for a family who’s lost everything in a flood, or counselling for a child living hundreds of kilometres from
their nearest school. Every dollar of every bequest is put to work where it matters most.
Importantly, leaving a bequest doesn’t require a large estate or complex arrangements. It simply takes a conversation with your solicitor or will-writer. You can leave a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or the residue after other gifts are distributed. And you’ll have the peace of mind of knowing that your legacy will help Aussie Helpers continue their mission well into the future.
We often hear from farming families who say that Aussie Helpers showed up when no one else did—when pride or distance might have kept them from asking for help. Your legacy could be the quiet knock on a door, the care parcel on a kitchen table, the relief that someone out there remembers them.
If you’d like to talk more about leaving a gift in your will, our friendly team is here to help. There’s no pressure or obligation, just a genuine thank you for considering a way to make a lasting impact.
Because sometimes, the most meaningful things we leave behind aren’t things at all – but acts of kindness that ripple on.
