Macquarie ACT 2614

Hello, I am reaching out for support for a community member who has recently been released from custody and is trying to rebuild their life from the ground up. They have spent much of their late teens and adult life in and out of prison, and are now doing their best to make a fresh start. This person lives with an acquired brain injury (from a serious car accident years ago) as well as schizophrenia, which makes daily life particularly difficult. Despite these challenges, they are always polite and respectful when engaging with others. In the past, substance use and poor choices led to trouble with the law, but they are determined to try a different path this time. Right now, they are moving into accommodation with absolutely nothing inside — no furniture, no appliances, no household basics. To give them the best chance of stability, we are seeking donations of essential items such as: Couch Coffee table Television and/or radio Dryer Any other household items or furniture that could help make their place feel like a home Having a safe and comfortable living space will make a huge difference in supporting this person to stay on track and connected with positive supports. If you, or someone you know, are able to donate, it would mean the world and truly help them to start again. Thank you for your kindness. We can collect the smaller items for him.

Recipient story

Living with a brain injury & schizophrenia, our client is rebuilding from nothing and needs help to create a safe home.
GIVIT
First Nations Support
The client has spent much of his teenage and adult life in custody, leaving him without even the basics to call his own. He lives with an acquired brain injury and schizophrenia, which make everyday tasks most people take for granted a daily challenge. Despite these hardships, he is gentle, polite, and respectful in all of his interactions. What he longs for now is the chance to start over and create a safe, stable place to call home. At present, he has nothing — no furniture, no essentials, no comfort. Without a secure and furnished home, he faces the risk of falling back into instability and hopelessness. By helping to furnish his property, we can give him dignity, stability, and the foundation he so desperately needs to focus on his health and build a brighter future. This simple act of support will not only provide him with comfort, but also with hope, belonging, and the chance to finally move forward in life.
