Recipient story
Mother of two young children, recovering from family violence, now facing housing instability and financial hardship.
GIVIT
Domestic & Family Violence
W is a devoted single mother to two young children, doing everything she can to provide them with safety and stability. Despite her strength and resilience, she is now facing extreme financial hardship and the very real risk of homelessness. Her rent—around $1,100 per fortnight—consumes nearly 80% of her income, leaving her with almost nothing for food, bills, or basic necessities.
W’s situation is made even more challenging by the long-term domestic and family violence she endured in her previous relationship with the children’s father. The trauma of that experience continues to impact her mental and emotional wellbeing. As she navigates the ongoing family court process, she finds it deeply distressing and re-traumatising, yet she continues to show up every day for her children with quiet courage.
