An Aboriginal single mother who has chronic physical and mental health issues needs support.
This mother has numerous health problems which severely impacts her mobility. She has nerve damage in her lower back, chronic pain in her hips and she had an accident recently which has resulted in damaged knee cartilage. She also has asthma and suffers from chest infections regularly. Most of the income she receives goes on her medical needs and a lot of her time is spent managing her pain. She is currently waiting to gain access to NDIS. She has two children and she is the sole carer for these children. The child's father has a history of violence towards the mother and his children and therefore he isn't involved in their care. All of her family is in Western Australia. She also has been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, complex PTSD and bi-polar disorder.
