Recipient story
Aunt caring for children who lost both mum and dad urgently needing food vouchers
First Nations Support
GIVIT
Christmas 2025
Maternal aunt caring for niece and nephew after their father unexpectedly passed away from cancer. It was not known to the family that the children’s father had cancer as he kept it under wraps. Their mother passed away a few years ago as well on Christmas day. Aunt has care of the children and is currently accessing legal aid and going through the court system to get full custody of the children. She was not working prior and is now currently receiving the parenting payment via Centrelink. Her niece wrote a Christmas list for what she wants from Santa, and she wrote that "she would like her mum and dad back". The children don't fully understand why they can't have their parent's back. Grocery vouchers would provide much needed support, helping ease the pressure and ensure the family has food and essentials.
