Young mum with disability struggling to make ends meet, recent relationship breakdown, needs a helping hand
GIVIT
Domestic & Family Violence
Ready to Learn
Young mother (18) with complex disabilities is doing an incredible job caring for her 20-month-old child.
She has recently separated from the child’s father and was forced to relocate interstate to stay with family — her only option at the time. She has returned to her home state and was in crisis accommodation, was just offered her own unit, which is a huge step forward. Unfortunately, she has faced ongoing abuse and threats from her ex-partner’s family, which has added to an already difficult situation. She is starting over with very few belongings and will need to rebuild her household from scratch. Having grown up in foster care, she carries a significant trauma history and has limited informal support around her. Despite these challenges, she is determined to create a better life for herself and her son. While she is not comfortable with receiving “handouts,” she would appreciate any support available at this time. Any assistance — big or small would make a huge difference.
