Recipient story
Single Mother and 13 year old Son Living in Their Car
Christmas 2025
GIVIT
Domestic & Family Violence
Ready to Learn
This single mother and her 12-year-old son who have been experiencing homelessness and living in their car for the past eight months. Despite her best efforts to secure stable accommodation, she has been unable to obtain a private rental due to her very limited income, which has resulted in repeated application rejections. She continues to actively seek housing but faces significant barriers in the current rental market. Living in a car has been extremely challenging, particularly at this time of year. The heat has made conditions uncomfortable and at times distressing, especially for her son. With no family or informal supports available to them in Perth, this mother is managing entirely on her own while doing everything possible to protect her child’s wellbeing, safety, and emotional stability under very difficult circumstances.
