Laptop

This woman is currently living in transitional housing and receives the Disability Support Pension, having never engaged in paid employment. She lives alone, with no family supports, and relies entirely on food pantries and material aid to access essential items, including medication. She presents with significant hoarding behaviours, a condition recognised in the DSM-5, resulting in a substantial financial burden. She rents a storage unit costing over $500 per month. Despite sustained casework and multiple attempts to reduce the size and cost of this storage, this remains a non-negotiable issue. Due to entrenched behaviours and associated cognitive barriers, she is unable to implement changes to improve her financial situation. She is seeking funding to replace her laptop, which is incompatible with current Microsoft Windows updates and will soon lose support. This device is her primary means of communication, as she does not have access to a phone.
