Recipient story
Homeless single mum of five, undergoing cancer treatment, urgently needing school supplies
GIVIT
I’m reaching out to ask for support for a mum who is going through an incredibly tough time. She is a mother of five and is currently living in a tent with her children. Every day is about getting through and covering the basics.
With the school term here, she simply doesn’t have the money to buy school supplies for her children. Things like uniforms, shoes, backpacks and stationery are out of reach right now. Her only income is Centrelink support, and it barely covers essential living costs. There’s nothing left over.
As a parent, not being able to send your children to school feeling prepared is heartbreaking. She wants her kids to feel confident and included, but right now she just can’t make that happen on her own.
Any support to help provide school supplies for her children would mean so much and would ease a great deal of stress during this already overwhelming time.
