Recipient story
Support for a Young Family in Crisis
GIVIT
A young couple with two dependents are facing severe mental health challenges and financial hardship.
The mother has been struggling with postnatal depression since the birth of her second child, while the father—despite actively seeking to upskill—has faced ongoing barriers to employment, including workplace bullying in the construction industry. The family’s financial hardship has left them with very limited options for safe and stable housing, and they are preparing to relocate when possible.
They currently live in unsafe housing with no insulation. The family has previously accessed local food pantries, but their children experienced allergies to some items. Grocery vouchers are the safest way to ensure they can meet their children’s needs. These supports will help ease financial strain, provide essentials for the children, and allow the family to save for relocation to a safer home.
