Find out how you can help like Dorothea did
LEAVE A GIFT IN YOUR WILLThe Dorothea Limb Fund is thanks to the generosity of a Rise client of 17 years, Dorothea Limb, who sadly passed away in 2012.
Dorothea lived alone and our staff supported her to keep her independence at her home in Darlington. Dorothea loved the help we gave her.
We use the funds to help build the resilience of primary carers. Primary carers are people who provide informal care and assistance to their loved ones to enable them to live at home. Often they will be husbands or wives, sons or daughters and increasingly often the people they care for will live with dementia.
We have a very successful Carer Program, funded by National Respite for Carers and we provide valuable services for the primary carer usually in the form of a short break or respite from their caring duties to avoid getting burnt out or run down.

Lana House is a transitional safe house for young women who have experienced emotional and traumatic crisis after leaving a domestic or violent family situation. We acquired the property in 2014 and it was then that international organisation, INPEX approached us. People from their Perth office were prepared to donate their time and talent to make a stunning home of Lana House.
A young person’s rite of passage is the independence they receive from having a driver’s licence. For many of us, this may be easy but for some it is not, and yet the tangible and intangible benefits that come to the young person as a result of receiving their licence can be huge.
