Recipient story
An elderly woman hand washes all her clothes due to hardship. A washing machine would restore dignity and ease daily strain.
Domestic & Family Violence
Seeking support for an elderly woman in our community who is currently experiencing financial hardship and does not have access to a washing machine in her home.
Due to her limited income and circumstances, she has been hand-washing all of her clothes. This is becoming increasingly difficult and physically demanding, particularly given her age. What many people take for granted—having clean clothing through a simple household appliance—has become a daily challenge for her.
Access to a washing machine would significantly improve her quality of life. It would reduce the physical strain on her body, allow her to maintain her personal hygiene with dignity, and provide a basic level of comfort and independence in her own home.
We are therefore seeking funding or a donated washing machine to assist her. Even a good quality second-hand machine would make an enormous difference.
