If you worry about your elderly parents falling victim to cyber-criminals, we can help?
Kick Ass Seniors is a free service that helps senior citizens who have been victims of cyber-crime. We offer emotional support, legal advice, and financial assistance to help them recover from the trauma and loss.
Australians aged 65 and older lost more money to scams than any other age group, with a total of $82 million lost.
We believe that senior citizens deserve respect and dignity, not exploitation and abuse. That's why we need your donation to keep our service running and reach more vulnerable elders. Please support Kicak Ass Seniors today and make a difference in someone's life.
