Welcome to my fundraising page!

As a national finalist of Miss Galaxy Australia 2025, I am proud to stand with Batyr, a charity organisation that is deeply meaningful to me, in raising awareness for mental health and supporting its crucial fundraising efforts.

Did you know that in Australia, 1 in 4 young people experience mental-ill health, and rates of psychological distress have increased in the last decade? Tragically, suicide is the leading cause of death for young people!

By supporting batyr, we’re helping empower young people with the confidence and skills to get through tough times and look out for their mates. Through sharing lived experience stories and peer-to-peer education, we are keeping young people from reaching the point of crisis and changing lives.

This cause resonates with me on both a personal and professional level. I tragically lost my dad at the young age of six, and the emotional impact of that loss is something that still profoundly affects me. I fully understand the pain and significance of mental health, particularly for young people who may face similar struggles. Additionally, when I moved to a new country at just 18 years old, I learned firsthand the importance of having a support system to rely on during difficult moments. Furthermore, my career as a Registered Nurse has given me the privilege of witnessing numerous mental health challenges, reinforcing the profound impact of offering support. I've learned firsthand how crucial it is for someone to say, "You're not alone; I stand with you," as those simple words can make all the difference in someone's journey.

I strongly believe that taking a step towards breaking the stigma of mental health can help young people feel empowered to reach out for help for any mental health challenges they are experiencing.

Any donations small or big can make a huge difference in someone’s life. Let’s take this step with me for such an important cause!

Kind Regards,
Aastha Kafle
