Support a Woman Escaping Violence at 75
GIVIT
A 75-year-old woman is seeking support to rebuild her life after escaping domestic violence. After years of escalating abuse from her husband and his adult son — including threats, financial control, and intimidation involving firearms — she has made the brave decision to leave. She has moved into temporary accommodation with her son, though this is not a safe or sustainable option due to his mental health challenges. She receives the Age Pension and has limited savings, no transport, and is ineligible for public housing. Her two cats will be boarded while she looks for a new home. She is working with support services but urgently needs help covering basic costs. Your donation will help her take the first steps toward safety, stability, and healing.
