Mum of 7 Children, 12 and under, experiencing extensive and severe Domestic and Family Violence.
Mum of 7 children, all under 12 years old, has recently been diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder. A psychosomatic disorder born out of the cumulative harm of a lifetime of intimate partner violence.
This diagnosis is sudden as are the symptoms and the family do not have access to as many medical avenues due to their Visa type.
Mum's has severely limited mobility and therefore her capacity to care for herself and her family has diminished significantly.
The family are very financially vulnerable and paying out of pocket for specialist appointments is not a sustainable option. Mum has nearly completed all of her allocated sessions of physiotherapy but is unable to get any more at a bulk billing rate.
We are looking for any supports that will have a positive impact in Mum's and childrens life right now, whether this is through food vouchers or if this is time and skills around mum's disability.
