Recipient story
A brave mum of three, rebuilding life after DV, faces a $1,000 car repair crisis. She studies, smiles, and keeps going.
GIVIT
Christmas 2025
She didn’t leave her marriage because life was easy.
She left because she had to — because staying meant her children would grow up thinking fear was normal.
Now, she is raising three beautiful little ones, all under ten, on her own.
She studies at university late into the night, determined to build a better life for her family. Determined that her children will grow up knowing safety, possibility, and hope.
And despite everything she’s lived through… she radiates joy.
She is one of those rare souls whose laugh comes easily, whose smile can brighten a whole room. You would never guess the weight she quietly carries.
This week, life threw her a series of unexpected expenses.
And today, the power steering in her car failed. Her car is the one thing she absolutely needs to keep going.
The repair cost: $1,000
For her, right now, that might as well be $10,000.
If you can help -- thank you.
