Recipient story
Refugee mom with severe, chronic, persistent depression wants Xmas gift for her 5 kids
Christmas 2025
GIVIT
A refugee mother of five beautiful children, ages 5 to 17. We fled unimaginable persecution in our home country, which still haunts my eldest two (social isolation, fear) and me with severe, chronic depression. Settling here has been our lifeline, but the weight of trauma and starting over leaves us fragile.
Our only income is Centrelink payments, stretched thin for basics like food and rent. This Christmas, I dream of seeing my kids' faces light up with simple joys they've never known: toys, clothes, or books that say, "You are safe and loved."
With your donated vouchers I can choose perfect surprises for them. Your generosity could ease our mental burdens and create memories of hope. Thank you.
