Recipient story
Family recovering from domestic violence faces homelessness and financial hardship while rebuilding their lives.
Domestic & Family Violence
After escaping domestic and family violence, a single mother and her 15-year-old child have worked tirelessly to rebuild their lives. Following a period of housing instability and uncertainty, the family has recently secured a Department of Housing property, providing them with a safe place to begin again.
The family has faced significant challenges over recent years, including separation from their eldest son, who is currently incarcerated. Despite these ongoing emotional and financial pressures, the mother remains committed to creating a stable, supportive, and nurturing environment for her child.
While obtaining secure housing is a major milestone, the family continues to experience financial hardship. The costs associated with re-establishing a household, managing daily living expenses, and navigating ongoing family challenges have left little capacity to meet essential needs. Access to food and fuel has become increasingly difficult, placing additional stress on the family.
