Behind the smile lies a daily struggle for this grandmother
Christmas 2025
GIVIT
Domestic & Family Violence
A 61-year-old grandmother with a warm smile that carries a struggle that few can see. Years of battling mental health challenges due to childhood trauma have made it hard for her to keep her home safe and organised. Hoarding tendencies have taken hold, and despite her best efforts, her tenancy continues to be at risk.
To make matters worse, her ex-partner continues to leave unwanted items at her home, adding to the chaos and stress. With dreams of a fresh start: a home that feels safe, clean, and calm. Your support can help provide the resources and motivation that she so desperately needs—professional help, property clean-up, and ongoing care—to restore her home and her hope. Every donation, big or small, brings her closer to a life where she can breathe freely, welcome her grandchildren without fear, and focus on her mental well-being.
