Struggling to recover in the wake of suicide

A single mother caring for 2 children with lifelong and life limiting genetic conditions is struggling to make ends meet following the death of her husband earlier this year. Her husband had been struggling with mental health, unexpectedly and devastatingly, taking his life.
Being a full time carer to her children, and struggling with the loss of her husband, has left the family in a challenging and highly vulnerable position.... financial pressures mounting, they have repeatedly been evicted from their home as they struggle to pay rent, and at time have skipped meals, medication and hospital visits due to costs.
The family reside in a remote part of the country and need to travel nearly 800kms to see the children's medical specialists, placing added pressures on the family.
