Recipient story
Indigenous ladyhomeless with a worsening leg wound, sleeping in her car and urgently needing safe shelter and basic support.
First Nations Support
GIVIT
This lady is currently experiencing active homelessness, sleeping in a car, at campgrounds, and occasionally in motels when funds allow. They have a serious open leg wound related to a long‑term vascular injury, which is worsening due to sleeping upright in a vehicle and being unable to rest or elevate the leg properly.
The client is in a highly vulnerable position—without stable shelter, limited income, and unable to manage their medical needs safely. They are also trying to remain connected with their teenage child, who cannot live with them due to the current crisis.
The client urgently requires safe temporary accommodation and basic essentials, particularly items that would allow them to rest comfortably and care for their wound. Any support would significantly improve their immediate health, safety, and wellbeing.
