I’m writing this for those who don’t know me. I know life is tough and I’ve been told that I am strong and I am fighting this fight and not giving up despite what life continues to throw at me. I’ve had my partner who had a stroke and now needs full time care, my family have broken apart since the death of my Pa who I was very close to and looked up and I had him there for guidance and financial help if I needed it, I fell pregnant after my Pa passed away and I disappointed the little family I had left that could be there for myself and my now 19month old son. I then needed help once my son was born and I had to give up full custody from what started with a voluntary care agreement, I was struggling extremely badly once my son was born, my son needed extra care and attention that I couldn’t give him due to my own struggles with extreme anxiety and PTSD, I reached out for help, the government stepped in and helped me, but the situation has changed dramatically in the last year and I’ve been living in the two bedroom unit on the same budget as when I was living in a one bedroom unit, I’m already living in community housing which is hard to admit and tough to live here, I am exposed to alcohol and drug induced fights from my neighbours which hasn’t been good for my anxiety. Because I’m living here my rent is already cheap but cheap is $300 a week right now and I’m already behind and I’m on the verge of being kicked out which could leave me homeless because I do not have the resources to get another place set up etc. The government haven’t been very helpful since they took care of Bub, my needs do not matter. I’ve tried to get NDIS but I rejected, I’ve applied for nearly every mental health support network and therapy recourses there is to help me since the government cut funding in July last year, Ive still not yet received any funding and I’ve got ten more sessions now because of the New Year with a psychologist but once they finish I don’t have the means to pay for therapy on any level. I am writing this to see if I can get 200 people to donate $25 each, only if you can, this money will go towards getting me back on my feet and in the right care for my mental health, my housing, my living costs, the help I need to get my son home. It will also go to other medical expenses as I don’t drive or have means of transport and my physical health isn’t good either, I suffer endometriosis and I am only now getting the help I need for it and a lot of the expenses aren’t covered by the government.
Due to the state of my mental health I am currently unable to work and only receive a certain amount from the government which doesn’t cover my living costs at all. I truly need this hand up to get my life back together and myself back on my feet. I used to be able to work and live with others until I struggled more with anxiety to the point where it has become debilitating. I am truly just trying to get my life back on track and I need the help of you, the community, to those who read this I thank you for taking your time and hope you can find it in your heart to help. Thank you- Ann x
