Mother of three rebuilding after family violence, awaiting permanent housing and supporting her children's recovery
Domestic & Family Violence

Homelessness
Christmas 2026
After relocating across state borders to escape family and domestic violence, this mother and her three young children are navigating the challenges of starting over in an unfamiliar community. The move has provided an opportunity for safety, but it has also meant leaving behind established supports, routines, and connections.
The family is currently living in emergency accommodation while awaiting long-term housing. The uncertainty of temporary living arrangements has been particularly difficult for the children, who are adjusting to significant changes while continuing to recover from the impacts of trauma and displacement.
Despite these challenges, their mother remains focused on creating stability and maintaining a sense of normalcy for her children. She is working hard to support their emotional wellbeing, keep them connected to education and community, and help them build confidence in their new environment.
