A Determined Mother Facing Financial Hardship While Settling in Australia
GIVIT
Arriving in 2024 on a 491 visa, this mother now lives in Canberra with her husband and two children aged 10 and 13. Despite her strong qualifications, including a Master’s in Food Science Technology and over 13 years of professional experience overseas, she is struggling to rebuild her life.
She recently began part-time work, but with her husband unemployed and enrolled in an unpaid training program, the $600 per week rent and high living expenses are overwhelming. Both children are finding the transition difficult and showing signs of depression, and while they are enrolled in sports to support their wellbeing, the emotional and financial strain remains heavy.
Your generosity can help ease their financial burden, give two young children the chance to feel secure again, and support a skilled mother as she works to rebuild her family’s future in their new home.
