After years of abuse, Jane finally found the courage to take her five children and flee from her violent husband. But having escaped the violence, Jane was forced to rent a house she could not afford because it was the only property available. Inevitably she fell behind with the rent, and had no option but to move out.
With nowhere to go, the family ended up sleeping in a tin garden shed.
With nowhere to go, Jane's family ended up sleeping in a tin garden shed.
Thankfully, the caseworkers at Wesley Mission’s Noreen Towers Community were able to provide accommodation, food, and other grocery items to meet their most pressing needs. But more than that, they were able to provide the intensive, long-term care they needed to overcome their more complex problems for good.
Jane has since found great love and support in Paul, who has become a caring father to all the children. And just a few weeks ago, Jane and Paul became the proud parents of a beautiful baby girl.
They are so grateful to Wesley Mission, and so overwhelmed by the support and help they’ve received, that they have named her “Delisha” – a composite of all the caseworkers’ names – with the middle name “Noreen”.
Such a tribute to the staff at Noreen Towers speaks volumes of the quality of care and genuine concern that Wesley Mission staff have for their clients.
But not all families are so lucky. It’s clear that 12 consecutive interest rate rises are taking their toll on the poorest Australians, and the numbers of homeless are growing every day.
Your gift to Wesley Mission today will help us to be there for more families like Jane’s, provide early intervention for those struggling financially, and to give more families the complete care they need to overcome the problems which have led to homelessness.
