shadows into light

Welcome home.

BRAVE is a blog that is more than just that. It is a container, a safe space, a place to gather around the fire, to share stories, come together, evoke courage, connection, and to bravely run with the wolves. It is an invitation for all, to settle in with a cuppa, be inspired, feel warmth, and draw strength from the knowing that you are not alone.

Brave is a place for the collective to unite, a blank canvas to express your journey in any way you wish – poetry, prose, art, or dear diary. It is a place to turn pain into power, wounds into wisdom, and create from the experiences that shape us; allowing growth and expansion, moving us forward with courage and grace.

We would love you to be a part of the story-telling. To share your journey and author a blog post within Brave, email Louise at [email protected].

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
REFUND POLICY
This refund policy outlines the procedure and process of issuing a refund.

Should an error be made in the amount of any donation, you – as the donor – has 60 days in which to notify Bully Zero Australia Foundation of the error.

All requests for refunds must be made in writing and directed by email to [email protected] or by post to Fundraising, Bully Zero, 72 Hargrave Avenue, Essendon Fields, VIC, 3041.

The request should have the details of the initial donation including the date, amount, name of the donor, the receipt number and the nature of the error. If the error is in relation to a tax invoice that was issued, the incorrect amount immediately becomes void and invalid, and a new tax invoice will be issued for the amount of the corrected donation.

Of course, should an error be made by Bully Zero Australia Foundation or its financial institution(s), full refunds will be made immediately upon notification of the error and all costs borne Bully Zero Australia Foundation.

Please note: refunds of the amount pledged to be donated will not automatically be made simply because you have changed your mind. It is for this reason that we ask that you make your choice to donate carefully. Bully Zero Australia Foundation is under no obligation to give a refund if an error has been made on your part, but will endeavour to ensure that any genuine errors (such as to the amount donated) are rectified.

Bully Zero Australia Foundation, which is a non profit organisation, reserves the right to deduct any bank or transaction charges for any refund processed onto the donor. Should an error be detected and a request for refund be made after 60 days have expired, Bully Zero Australia Foundation regrets that it is unable to refund any monies.

PAYMENT POLICY
A tax receipt is emailed to the email address provided (providing you have supplied one) on successful processing of your donation. This will normally take just a couple of minutes.

You may contact us at any time for an additional copy of this receipt should you require one. When doing so, you will be asked to provide the name in which the donation was made, the amount donated, the date and any other detail that will help verify

If at any time you have any questions in relation to your donation, please contact us via:

I am a bearded crossdresser in a homophobic town, the bowls club I am a member of allow other members to insult me and put me off when I'm playing, I walk down the street and guys threaten me and blow kisses and mock me, I can't even go to a restaurant without people giggling and pointing.

What a fabulous blog idea. Expressing yourself via this blog will no doubt sharpen our perspective on the issue and the emotional toll it can take. I love that it acknowledges the HIRO within us all too. I can't wait to submit my art.
