Recipient story
Bereaved mother supporting her teenage son with autism while navigating cancer, facing significant financial strain.
Christmas 2025
GIVIT
Seeking financial support for a bereaved mother is currently navigating her own cancer diagnosis and treatment while caring for her teenage son, who is autistic. Since the loss of her partner 8 years ago, this mum has been the sole caregiver and support for her son, managing his care, schooling, and emotional needs on her own. In February 2025 she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer.
Due to her health and treatment demands, she has been unable to maintain consistent work, resulting in a significantly reduced household income. At the same time, everyday living costs and caregiving responsibilities continue, placing considerable financial pressure on the family.
This family is doing their best to get through a very difficult time. Financial support would help ease some immediate stress and provide stability allowing this mother to focus on her health and caring for her son.
