Single mother with autistic child and no income due to visa

Single mother came to Australia with her husband in 2017. In 2020 she had to escape the relationship due to the domestic violence including being threatened with a knife, isolation, working and not receiving a wage and taking care of a new baby.
The child is non-verbal and autistic. She receives no support from NDIS because of her Visa status. She receives no pension because of her Visa status. She works part time and her child attends a special school.
She has limited supports and no family here in Australia.
She would like to help her son read and write and has requested a study table and some interactive books.
Her son is nearly 7 and enjoys reading and writing and looking at pictures. A study table can be used also for him to sit at when he has his meals.
Her kitchen table is too big and high for him.
This donation would make her life so much more manageable and will allow her to have some time to herself while he plays at his study table.
