Leave A Legacy
Help My Mates after you leave this world.
Your life can leave something behind that keeps helping animals and inspiring the next generation.
Our founder leads the way.
I have left 50% of my Will to Help My Mates.
— Thomas, Founder — Help My Mates
Thomas didn't just start Help My Mates — he put his own legacy behind it. Half of everything he leaves behind will go toward protecting Australian wildlife and inspiring the next generation of animal protectors. That's not a promise. It's already done.
Leave a Legacy
What if something you dreamed of building could live on long after you?
Most of us leave things behind.
A house.
A photograph.
A few memories.
But imagine leaving behind something that continues to give life.
Maybe there is something you have always wanted to build — an animal shelter, a wildlife habitat, a community garden, a place for children to learn, or a safe home for animals in need.
Something you always said:
"One day, I'd love to build that."
Maybe you won't be here to see it completed.
That's okay.
Through Leave a Legacy, you can help make that dream possible.
And one day, your children, grandchildren, friends or loved ones can stand there and look at what was created and say:
"He helped build this."
"She made this possible."
"This exists because of them."
Your name doesn't have to be on a building.
Your actions can be your memorial.
A place where an animal finds safety.
A tree that grows for a hundred years.
A habitat where wildlife returns.
A community where people come together.
A place where future generations can learn to care.
You may not get to see the finished work.
But generations after you will.
And perhaps that is one of the greatest gifts we can leave behind:
Not something that remembers us,
but something that continues the work we believed in.
LEAVE SOMETHING GOOD BEHIND.
Leave a Legacy with Help My Mates.
It doesn't have to be money
A legacy can be anything that helps.
Sometimes the most powerful thing you can leave behind isn't in a bank account. It's sitting in your garage, your shed, or your spare room right now.
A legacy isn't measured in dollars. It's measured in the lives it touches — animal and human alike.
Donate Goods
Got something sitting in your shed?
It could save a life.
You don't have to wait until you're gone. Right now, today, you might have something that a wildlife carer desperately needs. A blanket. A boat. A van. A cage. A pillowcase. Anything that helps animals gets to where it's needed most.
Get in Touch About Donating GoodsNot sure if we can use it? Reach out anyway — if we can't use it, we'll help find someone who can.
A seed. A story. A future.
Thomas planted the seed.
The animals — and you — watered it.
Together, we can help it grow.
People can consider leaving a gift in their Will to help animals, protect habitats and educate the next generation. A legacy gift is one of the most meaningful ways to ensure the work continues long after we're gone.
Even 1% can help create a legacy.
You may choose to leave a percentage of your estate, a specific dollar amount, or another gift through your Will. Whatever form it takes, a legacy gift to Help My Mates will go directly toward protecting Australian wildlife and inspiring the next generation of animal protectors.

Why leave a legacy?
Because the work doesn't have to end with us.
The next generation of animal protectors is already out there.
