People like Jason are in crisis.
Jason, a father of two teenagers, needed to stop working when he was required to become a full time carer for his seriously ill wife.
He also cares for his teenage son who is autistic and is very dependent on him.
Despite the challenging circumstances, Jason mostly managed to make ends meet through careful budgeting and planning. The family might not have had much, but at least they had a roof over their heads and food on the table.
Then the cost-of-living crisis changed everything and Jason and his family struggled to afford basics like food.
Asking for help didn’t come easy for Jason. But the escalating cost-of-living crisis left him with no choice.
Jason reached out to Vinnies for support. The Vinnies team were able to assist Jason and his family with food vouchers and food hampers. We also assisted with the family’s utility bills, medication expenses and provided clothing.
Jason is extremely grateful to Vinnies and feels it is a place he can reach out to without feeling any judgement. He says the team always make him feel welcome, comfortable and not embarrassed to ask for assistance. He is also thankful towards Vinnies donors as he knows it makes our good works possible.
During this ongoing cost-of-living crisis, many others like Jason are experiencing hardship, poverty and homelessness – please donate today.
