Recipient story
63yo DV survivor living alone on Centrelink needs a lawn mower to maintain her rental property and support her independence..
Domestic & Family Violence
GIVIT
63yo single woman, separated from her husband three years ago due to domestic violence and currently protected by a DVO. She has recently experienced significant grief, losing several key emotional supports. She lives alone in a rental and relies solely on Centrelink. Ongoing trauma and grief have led to high stress and anxiety, compounded by physical health issues from past assaults. She volunteers with two agencies, which is her main source of connection as she has no close friends or family. Her gardener, who previously helped maintain her lawn, recently passed away, and she cannot afford to replace this support. She wishes to mow her lawn herself but urgently needs a lawn mower. The lawn is now difficult to manage, and maintaining it is essential for meeting rental standards and preserving her dignity and independence. Any support would be greatly appreciated.
