Recipient story
A full-time carer navigating mental health recovery and job insecurity while caring for his wife who has complex disabilities
GIVIT
This household is experiencing significant financial strain due to a combination of caring responsibilities, health challenges and rising living costs. The client being supported is a full-time carer for his wife, who has complex disabilities and requires ongoing care and multiple prescribed medications. The cost of these medications places additional pressure on an already limited household budget.
Due to his caring role, he has been unable to maintain paid employment. He is actively seeking work that can be balanced with his responsibilities, but opportunities are limited. Recently, he required a period of hospital treatment following a decline in his mental health, further impacting his ability to work and manage daily demands.
At present, the household is struggling to cover essential expenses such as rent, bills and food. There is also uncertainty around their housing situation, as there is a high risk that their lease may not be renewed in the coming months.
