Recipient story
An Elder on a low income urgently needs support after her fridge stopped working and she cannot afford a replacement.
First Nations Support
GIVIT
An Aboriginal Elder living in social housing has recently experienced the unexpected breakdown of her refrigerator. She lives on a limited income and does not have savings available to replace this essential household item.
She enquired about whether she had any rental or water credit that could be refunded to help cover the cost, however she is only slightly in advance on rent and upcoming utility charges will absorb that balance. She has already accessed available advance payment options and has no remaining financial buffers.
This person manages her rent responsibly and consistently meets her housing obligations.
Without a working refrigerator, storing food safely becomes a serious issue, particularly for someone on a restricted income. Support would provide immediate relief and help maintain health, stability and dignity during a difficult time.
