Young mum with a significant history of childhood trauma and ongoing mental health challenges. She also experienced a highly traumatic birth with serious complications requiring complex surgery. Following this experience, she has been diagnosed with Severe Stress Disorder, OCD, and germaphobia, which continue to impact her daily functioning and wellbeing. She is actively engaged in regular therapy with a psychologist and is awaiting psychiatric support. Currently experiencing financial hardship while residing in a private rental. Has recently been approved for the Rental Security Subsidy, which will provide some relief toward rent costs. Support required for basic household furniture items, including a lounge suite to provide seating and support her young son's development as he learns to pull himself up and mobilise. Support with groceries, fuel, pharmaceuticals, clothing and other essential living expenses would make a significant difference to this family during this time.
