The Cocoon Helped Me Find My Forever Home   More than just a roof overhead, Bridge It's Cocoon is a home for young women at risk of homelessness to stay, stabilise, develop life skills, and get ready for long-term housing.   And for Zoe, a former resident of the Cocoon, it was her home from September 2022 until she was able to move into her own apartment last year.   "I finally feel secure in my life and I'm happy. I'll be studying at uni soon and I'm searching for a job. I feel super hopeful about my future and all the things I'll achieve. I'll never forget my time and skills I learned at the Cocoon."   Get to know Zoe's story of her time at the Cocoon, and how it helped transform her life. Read More: Zoe's Story

The Cocoon: So Much More Than A Roof   In Australia, at least 122,000 people experience homelessness any given night, with young people aged 12-24 making up 24% of this.   Bridge It provides homes, community and support programs to young women leaving residential or foster care. When unsupported, the transition out of residential or foster care can be a significant pathway to homelessness for young people.    The Cocoon program was created to bridge this critical gap by providing young women a place to stay, recover, develop life skills, and prepare for long-term housing.  "The Cocoon is so much more than a roof, we believe in our young residents and we support them in all areas of their lives. Through the Cocoon, I have seen them transform in so many ways, such as finding employment, building relationships with positive partners and building their self esteem." - Carla, Bridge It Founder & CEO   Just in time for Homelessness Week, we hope that this boot is a conversation starter that will bring more awareness to Australia's escalating homelessness crisis and the life-changing housing and support Bridge It is providing.

Partners In Merriness   "I knew when starting Merry People, that I wanted to be a business that made a positive impact on society. To be able to help give young women from disadvantaged backgrounds a support system around them to help with life skills, education and/or employment means that we can hopefully help set them up for a bright future!" - Dani, Merry People Founder & CEO   Hear more about the partnership from Dani and Carla, along with the inspiration behind the collaboration boot design.
