Recipient story
The family needs support with living costs, as neither parent can work due to ongoing and significant health issues.
GIVIT
This family, who arrived in Australia from Iraq in 2014, is currently experiencing significant financial hardship. Neither parent is able to work due to serious health issues. The father is elderly and lives with multiple chronic conditions including kidney disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, and impaired vision. The mother, a survivor of a terrorist attack in Iraq, is the full-time carer for her husband and their teenage daughter, who has complex medical needs due to bilateral hip dysplasia requiring ongoing treatment in Sydney. The mother was previously employed part-time in childcare but had to stop due to the worsening of her injuries. The family also cares for two young sons. With 70% of their income going toward rent, they are struggling to afford basic living costs including food, transport, and healthcare. They are in urgent need of additional support to help manage their day-to-day expenses and maintain stability.
