Absolutely amazing 👏
After three years of sleeping in a tent, a couple in Caboolture has finally received the keys to a safe, stable home of their own.
For years, they lived with constant fear - taking turns to sleep so one of them could watch over their few belongings, battling harsh weather, theft, violence, mental and physical health challenges, language barriers and, most recently, a breast cancer diagnosis.
When the couple finally secured housing, they still had nothing to furnish it with. Thanks to generous GIVIT donors, they received household items and essentials, including a brand‑new fridge and a phone - their first new belongings since 2012.
Caboolture Neighbourhood Centre, the organisation supporting the couple, shared: “This case shows the power of community collaboration. With the right support, people can overcome adversity and rebuild their lives.”
