Recipient story
With a failing phone, a neurodivergent trans adult relies on modern tech for safety, independence, daily care and supports.
GIVIT
Domestic & Family Violence
In their late 50s, this trans person lives with Autism, Dissociative Identity Disorder, and PTSD. His mobile phone is not a luxury, it is a critical support tool that helps him stay safe, grounded, and independent each day. Unfortunately, his current phone no longer works reliably, creating barriers that affect communication, navigation, access to services, and personal security.
Up-to-date technology (recent year model) is especially important for someone managing complex mental health needs. The latest software provides stronger security, stability, and accessibility features that reduce stress and confusion. Functions like tap-and-pay, reliable apps, reminders, secure authentication, and consistent updates help simplify daily tasks and reduce cognitive overload. Accessibility settings, emergency features, and dependable performance offer reassurance during moments of anxiety or dissociation.
Without a functioning, modern phone, routine activities become overwhelming and unsafe.
