Phenomenal young mum doing an amazing job with her young son and brother. Has drive and ambition and continues to complete her education and has been able to re-engage her younger brother in education as well. Is very resilient and resourceful however is finding life very hard at the moment. There have been additional costs related to her health and ongoing medical issues, also in relation to schooling for herself and her brother and day care for her son, so she has been juggling a lot with very minimal supports. She has a very significant and complex trauma history. She has tried to be as independent as can be, however has reached a point where she has needed to ask for help. This is something she found very hard to do, however has faith in knowing that she can, and will pay it forward one day. Has experienced DV with father of her baby and is seeking counselling regarding this, to enable her to heal and move forward. Any assistance at all would be greatly appreciated.
