Recipient story
51-year-old man who's experienced homelessness, poverty and marginalisation the majority of his life.
Other hardship(s)
Following significant childhood trauma, this client spent much of his life experiencing homelessness, poverty and social exclusion. Throughout these challenges, alcohol and other drugs became a way of coping with overwhelming emotional pain and the impacts of long-term trauma.
Today, he is committed to building a different future. He has recently entered a trauma-informed 3 year intensive case management and peer support program and is now living in crisis accommodation, with a pathway to public housing over the coming year.
An exceptionally talented artist, he is looking to reconnect more deeply with painting and drawing as a healthy way to process emotions, express himself and build a meaningful life beyond survival. Art has become an important part of his recovery, offering purpose, routine and a positive outlet that supports his wellbeing.
We are seeking support to purchase several blank canvases so he can continue exploring and developing his creative practice in the safety
