<div><strong>Short Summary</strong>
</div>
<div><em>jack’s place</em> will be Australia’s first purpose-built, 24/7 residential sanctuary for people in suicidal crisis. Grounded in lived experience and therapeutic care, this space will offer immediate, life-saving support in a calm, natural setting. We are raising funds to build a model of care. Every dollar helps create a place of safety, love, and hope.
</div>
<div><strong>Why <em>jacks place</em> Must Exist</strong>
</div>
<div><em>jacks place </em>Foundation emerged from Linda’s profound loss when her vibrant, 25-year-old son Jack—having bravely fought a four-year battle with mental illness—confided he had nowhere safe to go and ended his life.
</div>
<div>Determined that no one else should face that void of care,<em> jacks place</em> will become Australia’s first purpose-built, 24/7 suicide prevention sanctuary on the Sunshine Coast. In a landscape where public hospitals and mental health units are overwhelmed and ill-equipped to offer truly therapeutic suicide crisis support, <em>jacks place</em> fills a life-or-death gap with a dedicated refuge designed exclusively for those at imminent risk. It will truly hold and support someone in their most vulnerable moment.
</div>
<div><strong>What We’re Building</strong>
</div>
<div><em>jacks place </em>will be:
</div>
<div>•	<strong>Open 24/7,</strong> with no judgment and no locked doors.
</div>
<div>•	<strong>Grounded in nature</strong>: every room opens to the outdoors—sunlight, trees, and the healing rhythm of the earth.
</div>
<div>•	<strong>Evidence-based and trauma-informed</strong>: care is delivered by a team of clinicians, peer workers, and volunteers trained in suicide-specific models.
</div>
<div>•	<strong>Built around guests, not systems</strong>: every design choice—from music availability to room design—is focused on comfort, connection, and safety.
</div>
<div><em>“All thoughts and feelings are welcome here.”</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong> Our Funding Goal: Phase 1 - Model of Care</strong>
</div>
<div>We’ve completed the strategic foundations:
</div>
<div>•	ACNC registered and endorsed.
</div>
<div>•	Granted Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status — all donations are tax-deductible.
</div>
<div>•	Secured a national leadership team and strong governance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re now raising $100,000 to:
</div>
<div>•	Develop a robust, evidence-informed Model of Care that integrates lived experience at every level—from homelike facility design and healing gardens to peer-led support and holistic therapies.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>Your support isn’t just financial—it’s a message: You believe everyone deserves safety, connection, and hope.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
