Recipient story
52 yo indigenous woman with disabilities on DSP struggling to pay for for essentials and replace broken whitegoods.
First Nations Support
GIVIT
Domestic & Family Violence
This woman, who has experienced DV in a previous relationship, is now living with her husband. Neither of them are working and they are struggling financially. She receives the DSP for an injury to her back. Her back injury makes it difficult for her to get around and working is quite challenging. She is finding it difficult to manage the day to day costs of life because of the rising cost of living. She is very keen for them to eat well so being able to store fresh fruit and vegetables is important to her. However, her fridge doesn’t work properly meaning that their food, an increasing proportion coming out of their support payments, is spoiling and becoming unusable. She is keen to support her health. UPDATE: 08.12.2024 - This woman's fridge is still not working properly and the freezer is not working at all. This woman has been on a DSP for 25 years due to a physical and brain related disability. A new refrigerator would change their lifestyle for the better.
