Recipient story

A Disability Pensioner couple with 15 year old and living in private rental need some financial assistance.
GIVIT
VIC Storms February 2024
A couple who both suffering with several physical injuries and illnesses and mental health conditions are struggling to care for their 15-year-old son and keep up with their private rental costs. The couple both receive a part Disability pension but also work part time in their own business to make ends meet. This is an ongoing struggle as their rental costs are more than 55% of their income. The Storms in February 2024 had several impacts on the family and set them back significantly economically. They were unable to work in their business for an extended period and this was exacerbated by the impact of seasonal illnesses. The family are now falling behind with their rent. They have applied for affordable housing and have a pre-existing application and are seeking to find cheaper ongoing rent-al accommodation. This couple have worked hard to do everything to be independent and now need some short-term assistance to help them move forward.
