Recipient story
Maternal Grandmother with cancer diagnosis caring for her 13 year old grandaughter.
GIVIT
Domestic & Family Violence
Flooding 2022
The household consists of a grandmother who has assumed full-time care of her teenage granddaughter due to it being unsafe for the young person to remain in her birth family home. Grandmother has a diagnosis of cancer and limited extended family support.
The grandmother is a survivor of domestic violence and continues to experience the impacts of this trauma, including ongoing depression and anxiety, which has contributed to economic hardship. Despite her commitment to seeking employment and prioritising her granddaughter’s needs, her physical and mental health, combined with caregiving responsibilities, has limited her ability to maintain consistent shift work.
The teenager lives with a disability and chronic physical health conditions, requiring additional care and support, further impacting the family’s capacity to improve their financial situation.
