A Fresh Start – Support Our Move
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Genevieve, and I’m a single mum to my beautiful 10-year-old son.
After almost two years of rebuilding our life following a domestic violence situation, we’re now facing another unexpected transition — one that we didn’t plan for, but one that I believe is leading us to something better.
Due to unsafe conditions in our current apartment — including long-term, untreated mould — our health and wellbeing have been affected. It’s no longer a safe space for my boy or me. After raising concerns with no real resolution, I’ve been offered a lifeline: a beautiful rental house, offered by a kind real estate manager who supported us during our DV escape in 2023.
This is a fresh start we deeply need — one with light, space, and safety.
But moving, as you know, comes with costs: rental bond, upfront rent, moving expenses.
I’ve been working casually this year while focusing on my recovery, mental health, and parenting my boy through his own healing journey. I also recently completed my university degree after nearly a decade of study on and off — a milestone I’m so proud of.
I’m not in a position to access credit or loans, and asking for financial help is not something I do easily. I’ve carried shame around this. But I also believe in the power of community and vulnerability.
If you feel moved to support us, any amount — big or small — would mean the world. Your donation will go directly toward our bond and moving costs to help us settle into a healthy, stable home where we can continue our healing.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
With love and gratitude,
Genevieve
