Clara is helping people show up when opportunity knocks. A social worker and activist, Clara knows that job interviews are often a critical turning point - and that small, unseen barriers can be the difference between moving forward or missing out. She will partner with a local employment or community centre to identify 10 individuals who already have confirmed interviews but are being held back by practical challenges.

Using the $500, Clara will cover essentials like transit passes, basic grooming items, and professionally printed resumes with folders. Alongside this, she will give her time to offer one-on-one resume support, helping people translate their experience into clear, strengths-based resumes and prepare for interviews in a way that feels realistic and empowering.

This idea recognises that employment is one of the strongest pathways to long-term stability. Sometimes all it takes is a bus fare, a clean shirt, or a resume that truly reflects someone’s skills. By combining practical support with hands-on guidance, Clara is turning a small budget into meaningful, lasting impact at a moment that really matters.
