Chistopher’s Mates

Standing with every family, every month.

200 lives are lost every year

To help care for those families who have lost loved ones, we’re inviting 200 individuals to become one of Christopher’s Mates — one for every worker who loses their life each year.

By giving $29 a month, you’ll help provide:

  • Immediate financial relief so families can cover bills and urgent costs.

  • Counselling and emotional support to carry them through their grief.

  • A caring presence that lets them know they are not alone.

Christopher’s Crew honours every life lost by ensuring every family has someone standing with them.

👉 Will you be one of the 200 members who change everything for families facing the unthinkable?

Why give?

  • ✽

    Behind every number is a family — a wife, a husband, children, parents — suddenly left to navigate unimaginable grief. On top of the heartbreak comes financial stress and a system that offers little in the way of immediate support.

  • ✽

    The Touched by Christopher Foundation was born out of this reality. We know what it feels like to lose someone and face those first crushing days and months. That’s why we stand with families from the very beginning — providing fast, direct financial help, emotional support, and the compassionate presence of people who have walked this road before.

  • ✽

    This isn’t charity. This is community.
    Standing side by side with families when they need it most.
