Recipient story
client is a young woman who has two young children who had been couch surfing.
Christmas 2025
First Nations Support
GIVIT
Domestic & Family Violence
Client and 4 and 1-year old girls (2) finding it hard adjusting after a period of transient homelessness and now housed with a homelessness service.
She has been adapting to her new lifestyle and is paying her rent and paying off her bond, but this is all new to her and she is struggling with the budgeting. Her struggle currently is with buying enough food for the three of them. She also is very prideful and did not let me know until she had struggled through Easter with only enough for her precious children. She also told me she decided to borrow $100 from her family to support her through. I am setting her up with some budgeting skills, which includes tips and tasks to assist in the longer term. I believe she is very capable young lady and will in the longer term be able to cope.
I believe Christmas will be a trying time with emergency relief services closed for a period and vouchers for food and fuel would assist.
