Recipient story
Food vouchers for family facing cancer, disability, and financial hardship
GIVIT
This Aboriginal family has been under a lot of pressure for a long time. Dad is living with cancer and is still dealing with ongoing treatment and side effects. One of the children also has a brain injury and needs extra daily care. Mum is working multiple jobs while trying to care for her husband and five children, and she is starting to feel completely exhausted.
The children are struggling emotionally with everything that’s happening at home. Some are acting out protectively at school, while others are withdrawn and sad. The family has become very isolated because of dad's illness, and there are few supports around them.
Day-to-day costs are difficult to keep up with, especially food and other essentials. A GIVIT food voucher would make a real difference by helping this family cover basic needs and giving them some breathing space to focus on their health and wellbeing.
