We are incredibly grateful to commonkind for their generous support of our Hospitality Cart and their compassion for sick children and their families. Through the thoughtful care packs they’ve created, commonkind has brought comfort, relief, and a sense of kindness to those facing some of their most difficult moments. Each care pack is more than just a collection of items – it’s a reminder to our families that they are not alone, and that there is a community that cares deeply about their well-being. The smiles, the comfort, and the hope that your contributions bring are truly immeasurable. Thank you, commonkind, for lifting spirits, and for showing what kindness in action really looks like.

The Nappy Collective
The Nappy Collective provides nappies for vulnerable children across Australia by collecting donations of new and leftover nappies and redistributing them to families in crisis. One in ten Aussie families struggle to afford enough nappies to keep their little ones clean, happy, and healthy. These families are often escaping domestic violence, facing homelessness, experiencing financial hardship, seeking refuge, or recovering from natural disasters. As the only dedicated charity working to alleviate nappy stress in Australia, The Nappy Collective has collected over 7 million nappies and helped over 230,000 families since 2013. Learn more about The Nappy Collective here.
“At The Nappy Collective, we rely on volunteers to power our mission – and youth volunteers from commonkind have been a shining example of what’s possible. Contributions like this directly increase our capacity, allowing us to support more families in crisis with fewer resources. When young people step up to help other children, it not only lightens the load – it gives us hope for the kind of community we’re building together.”
