Recipient story
From Hardship to Hope, a Mother’s Journey Toward Healing and Independence
Domestic & Family Violence
Other hardship(s)
She migrated from New Zealand carrying the impact of early separation from her parents, which left her struggling with identity and belonging. Became a young mother and experienced multiple family and domestic violence relationships. With limited support and ongoing trauma, her offending was shaped by survival rather than intent. She has now served her sentence and is committed to rebuilding her life.
She has secured accommodation with her children and is actively engaging in therapeutic supports, with goals to heal and pursue education. However, as a non-citizen, she faces significant barriers to financial assistance. Her home remains unfurnished, lacking essentials like a fridge, cooking appliances, and basic comforts. She is also experiencing difficulty accessing groceries.
Despite these challenges, she shows resilience and determination to create a safe, stable, and nurturing future for her family.
