Backpack

Refugee family in need of school supplies - backpack and nappies

I am requesting support for a single mother and child, who have recently arrived in Australia from Venezuela on a humanitarian refugee visa. The son is seven years old and has diagnoses of level 3 autism, and severe ADHD. The son is due to start his first ever schooling experience in Perth next week, and is in need of some special supplies. Unfortunately the mother has not been able to learn English yet due to the caring needs of her son, and therefore is on very limited income through government benefits. Mother cannot afford to buy her son the required supplies.

I am requesting donations of a school backpack suitable for a seven year old boy, and child nappies (to fit a seven year old) due to incontinence at school.

Any donations and support would be greatly appreciated!
