When a student gets help with their education thanks to a supporter like you, doors open that didn’t even exist before. It can set in motion a lifetime of better opportunities. In her own words, Emma, explains:
“Mum was amazing trying to put education first for me and all my other siblings. But our family struggled to get by. Until the age of five, I couldn’t communicate or speak properly. I had to go to a special school. In Year 2, I went to a new primary school. I was bullied because I couldn’t afford the uniform. My confidence was low.

When The Smith Family came along, it made a massive difference.
Because of Smith Family supporters, I could do learning programs like student2student. Reading with my buddy each week helped me work on my communication skills. My vocabulary grew – and so did my confidence.
Then in high school I got to do the iTrack mentoring program. This was amazing.
