Recipient story
Elderly woman recently secured forever housing after living in a garage and is seeking support to rebuild her home.
Other hardship(s)
This request is for a 66-year-old woman who experienced housing instability following the passing of her husband and a work-related injury. As a result, she spent a period living in friends' garage and continues to experience financial hardship while receiving the Disability Support Pension.
Despite these challenges, she has remained resilient and engaged positively with support services. She has recently secured her forever home, marking a significant milestone after a prolonged period of uncertainty.
She is a warm, friendly, and grateful person who takes great pride in her home. Her faith has been an important source of strength throughout her journey. After spending time without a place of her own, she is excited to rebuild her independence, create a safe and welcoming home, and enjoy simple routines such as cooking Filipino meals again in her own kitchen. She is incredibly grateful for the opportunity to rebuild her independence and begin this next chapter of her life.
