Recipient story
A mother and her son urgently need support to escape trauma, support mental health, and break the cycle of family violence.
Domestic & Family Violence
GIVIT
After surviving a childhood shaped by trauma and abuse, a mother is determined to create a safe and stable life for her young son. Forced to give up her previous property due to it being under her ex-partner's name, she has since been couch surfing, relying on strained family arrangements that impact her mental health and parenting. She has experienced years of domestic violence and intergenerational abuse and is now working to break the cycle for her son's sake. She battles ongoing mental health challenges, including depression, and anxiety, and Bipolar Disorder, but lacks consistent support. Her son, who shares time between both parents, is showing signs of emotional distress and behavioural issues that reflect the instability around him. Without secure housing, access to childcare, and therapeutic support, this family's ability to heal and thrive is at serious risk.
