Recipient story
A 59-year-old indigenous male living with mental and physical health issues impacting his ability to meet basic needs
First Nations Support
Other hardship(s)
This Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander man is living in significant hardship, with limited supports and deep isolation from community. He struggles to afford basic necessities, often prioritising rent over essential items.
He lives with complex mental health challenges alongside chronic physical conditions that require consistent monitoring. Due to the severity of his mental health, he is often unable to adequately engage with health services, leaving his physical health needs unmet.
Evenings are particularly distressing, with heightened symptoms causing agitation and visible distress. An occupational therapist has recommended a TV as a therapeutic tool to provide calming distraction and support emotional regulation during these times.
A television would significantly reduce distress, improve his wellbeing, and create a safer environment. He does not have the financial means to purchase one, and this support would make a meaningful difference.
