What happens to the children who escape domestic violence with nothing but the clothes on their backs?

Where do they stay? How do they get back to school?

This is the incredible story of four Queenslanders who went above and beyond for those children and their families, providing them with uniforms, computers, books, stationery and shoes — for free.

This is a story about a volunteer charity offering powerful support for people whose lives were unimaginably disrupted by violence, and how those people got back on their feet.

This is a story for anyone who may be struggling to leave a domestic violence situation.

This is the story of Zephyr Education.

In this episode hear the stories of those who are the heart and soul of Zephyr, starting with the journalist who wrote the article that inspired this momentum. Ordinary, real people doing extraordinary things.

“We don’t do it to be seen or heard doing it, we do it because we know it’s doing good.”

In this episode we promise you laughter, tears and the birthing of hope as you listen to real-life stories from those in the trenches.

“I just wanted her to be going back to school and have just that normal life where no one would just point at her and say she was escaping DV.”
