Recipient story
transgender woman facing homelessness, family violence, and financial hardship seeks support to regain confidence.
Domestic & Family Violence
GIVIT
A transgender woman, with no work or study rights and no income, is dependent on charity organisations for emergency relief. She has been couch surfing at friends' homes but recently moved into rental accommodation. However, she remains at risk of homelessness due to her lack of income. She is working on her visa but, in the meantime, wants to pass her driving test to secure a job once granted work rights. Her confidence and mental health have been severely impacted by family violence based on her gender identity and sexuality, leaving her constantly shamed and with low self-esteem. To regain her confidence, she needs skills and a license. She struggles to access services as she cannot afford public transport and relies on friends to take her to appointments, which are often delayed or cancelled.
