GIVIT
Our client is a 43 year old male and identifies Tonga as his birthplace. He resides in a three-bedroom bungalow with his young family.
His relationship ended with ex partner, and he has full time care of 7 children aged between 4 - 15 years. Client shared he broke his ankle over a year ago and the injury still affects his mobility which in turn impacts his capacity to consistently sustain property care. He lives with sleep apnea and struggles with accessing the support he needs from health services due to lack of finances. He shared that his 14 year old daughter is responsible for parts of the property's care. Client has no family or community support. With the financial demands of having a large family and being a sole parent, he doesn't have the funds to put towards Christmas or other family/cultural celebrations.
