ReLove understands the profound difference between providing shelter and furnishing a home where families can thrive and heal. ReLove’s goal is to help vulnerable women leaving crisis accommodation to establish a long-term home, ensuring that women, especially First Nations, refugees, and new migrants, along with their children, receive the dignified support they deserve.
Our collaboration with ReLove resonates deeply with the Judith Neilson Foundation’s commitment to empower vulnerable women and their families – especially those grappling with homelessness, domestic violence, and the ripple effects of the criminal justice system.

How ReLove is helping families rebuild their lives

When Sarah arrived at ReLove with her two young children, she carried only a few bags and the weight of starting over after escaping domestic violence. The ReLove team guided her and her kids through the “shopping” experience as, together, they furnished the family’s new home. Her children beamed as they picked out beds and colourful rugs for their new bedrooms.
She later sent this message to the team: “ReLove, you transformed our house into a home. The incredible kindness and support you provided allowed us to choose what we needed and gave us many luxuries we could only dream of.”
Cathy, a woman over 55 experiencing home-lessness for the first time – one of ReLove’s fastest-growing client demographics – expressed heartfelt gratitude after visiting the ReLove warehouse. “I felt like a jackpot winner as I walked out, knowing that everything I needed was prepared for delivery.” The team went above and beyond, bringing each item into her new home and helping her unpack, creating a seamless transition. Cathy described the service as “generous, prompt, assistive beyond measure, and professional.” Through ReLove’s work, she’s now ready for the next chapter in her life.
