Snapshot of some of our Client needs
"Facing terminal illness with just two weeks left, I had to move into an aged care facility as my partner, also in poor health, could no longer care for me. The emotional toll on my partner has been immense, and I'm terrified he might commit suicide in his despair. Please help us.“
"I am in my early 50s. I left my job and home to move 500 km to provide 24/7 care for my elderly mother. I'm desperate for just 30 minutes of free time twice a week to make phone calls and do some gardening.”
"I am in my 80s. I had to move from a small rural town to Mount Gambier for regular medical care. I live alone, can no longer drive, and don't know anyone in this community. My family is overseas and interstate, leaving me with no one close by. I have difficulty breathing and desperately need help with shopping, getting prescriptions, and going to medical appointments."
"I need to have a minor surgical procedure 160 km from home, requiring anaesthesia and an overnight stay. I'm deeply worried about leaving my husband alone, as he might fall while I'm away. The thought of undergoing anaesthesia and being away from home, knowing he's on his own, is distressing. I can't proceed with the surgery unless I know he'll be safe."
"I am in hospital and expected to die within the week. With my partner by my side, I realised I haven’t made a Will. I urgently need to get this sorted before I pass.”
"Just after relocating to Mount Gambier with my husband and elderly mother, my world shattered when my husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer. With my mother also facing health challenges, I found myself torn between caring for my ailing husband and my dependent mother. Stranded in a new place without a support network, I felt lost and overwhelmed – I need help to manage all of this."
"Divorced and 63 years old, I found myself ineligible for aged care support when my health deteriorated due to cancer. My daughter lived over 1,200 kilometres away with a young family and could only offer limited assistance. While my brother did his best to juggle his family and work obligations, his efforts fell short of meeting my care needs. Despite my declining health, I am determined to hold onto the comfort of my own home for as long as possible. Help me to do this."
