Help for single mum with young daughter with disabilities experiencing financial hardship
GIVIT
Domestic & Family Violence
Single mum separated for past three years due to family and domestic violence. Mum is a full-time carer for her young daughter who has Autism, ADHD and epilepsy. Mum is renting privately and is financially struggling. She entered into a telco contract which has become unaffordable. She can return the phone and be released from this contract, but this will leave her without a mobile phone. Her circumstances with her daughter and the ongoing safety concerns due to domestic violence to be without a mobile makes her very vulnerable and not really an option. The sooner she can access a mobile the sooner she can end this expensive contract. Her daughter has started Kindy this year, and any support to help with this process would be appreciated to help with ongoing day to day expenses and items to help with the best learning environment for her that is possible. this mum is doing her best but only receiving carers payment makes it challenging get through each week to meet all their needs.
