Recipient story
A young mother rebuilding her life, asking for a safe start for her baby
Domestic & Family Violence
Other hardship(s)
I’m asking for support for a young woman I am working with who is preparing to welcome her first baby in the coming months. She has survived a long history of violence and, as a result, experienced homelessness several years ago.
She is doing this all on her own, without any family or wider support system to lean on. Despite everything she has faced, she has worked incredibly hard to rebuild her life—returning to school, securing a rental home of her own, and finding employment. As her pregnancy progresses, she is needing to reduce her work hours, and the financial pressure is becoming overwhelming at exactly the time she should be focusing on preparing for her baby. Any support would help her cover essential living costs and give her some stability and breathing room as she steps into motherhood. More than anything, she wants to create a safe, stable life for her child—something she never had herself.
