Recipient story
39yo woman has young child that needs feeding through a feeding tube.
GIVIT
39 yo woman has reached out as her emotional & mental health has been impacted, as she is doing her best to support her son, who was born premature & has a condition as a consequence requiring a feeding tube. In order to look after his ongoing nutritional health, she needs an expensive dietitian-approved blender to connect food with the feeding tube. The child is 3 and is peg-fed. She has tried multiple avenues, such as pulling from her super, NDIS plan, other charities etc, as it requires a special blender that will work with the peg tubing. Unfortunately, a CAP payment from Centrelink was rejected as it was not deemed urgent. This is required to help support her young son to be able to eat nutritious food. Has a dietician, pediatrician, OT, Speech therapist, music therapist and is doing everything possible for her son, but requires this one item that no one seems to be able to give support. Any support we can offer this lady would be greatly appreciated.
