Recipient story
55yo woman escaping long-term domestic violence seeking support to rebuild safety and stability for family.
Domestic & Family Violence
Other hardship(s)
55 year old woman is rebuilding her life after experiencing long-term domestic and family violence, including severe coercive control throughout a 25-year marriage. Her former partner was subject to a five-year Domestic Violence Order, which he recently breached, resulting in a higher-level protection order.
She experienced ongoing emotional, psychological, and financial abuse, social isolation, and controlling behaviour that restricted her independence and contact with family and friends. Her former partner controlled finances and accounts, leaving her with significant debt incurred in her name without her knowledge.
She is currently living with three of her five children, including one teenager, and is supporting one of her adult children’s partners who has no safe family home. She is relying on an older unreliable vehicle while working to rebuild safety and stability for her family.
Any support that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.
