Recipient story
A grieving mother. Four children. One fragile home.
GIVIT
After fleeing war-torn Eritrea, this mother arrived in Australia with four children and a heart still broken from losing her husband. Since his death in 2013, she’s carried the full weight of parenthood — through trauma, grief, and the unimaginable fear of starting over alone.
She suffers from anxiety and depression, worsened by constant housing stress. Her children, trying to study and build a future, are growing up too fast — burdened by uncertainty, worry, and the silent ache of a life that’s never felt settled.
They live in a rental she cannot afford. Every week is a question of food or rent. Every day feels like survival.
They’ve waited over a year for secure housing. They're not asking for much — just a safe, stable place to heal.
Please, if you can, help this family find hope again.
