Recipient story
Interstate family struggling to maintain vital contact with their baby in care as rising costs threaten their connection.
GIVIT
This family is the birth family of a three‑month‑old child currently in the care system. Despite the emotional challenges and the significant distance involved, they remain deeply committed to nurturing their bond through regular contact. Three times a fortnight, they undertake interstate travel to ensure their child continues to experience meaningful, consistent connection with their family of origin.
However, the rapidly rising cost of living has placed immense financial strain on their ability to maintain these visits. Travel expenses, accommodation needs, and reduced work capacity are pushing the family to the edge of disconnection. Without additional support, both the family and the young child are at significant risk of losing vital contact, contact that is essential for the child’s emotional wellbeing, identity, and long‑term stability.
