She left her partner due to domestic violence and lifestyle issues; he was regularly using drugs, and becoming increasingly violent. She has also been caring for her sister s children (13 and 11), as the children have been removed by Child Safety Services due to domestic violence and chronic neglect. Katie works part time in a local business and receives a very small wage. She is behind on the rent, and the family have been surviving on very little. Katie also has almost no personal support and suffers from depression and loneliness. Katie went to Emergency Relief (ER) hoping to receive toys and a Bag. After taking part in ER s interview process, Katie received a number of Bags, fresh meat, and a large box of fruit and vegetables. In addition, she chose three toys each for her children and toys for her nieces. ER had purchased substantial gifts suitable for adolescents, including mobile phones, and one of these was given to Katie for her eldest niece. Katie has made an appointment with ER s financial resilience counselling program, and she also had the opportunity for a one-on-one session with one of our counsellors. Katie was very appreciative of both the toys and the Bags. She was also very excited about linking to the Financial Resilience Counselling program and started by engaging with the counsellor on site. She also made a commitment to visit with a local counsellor for support a strategy developed in the brief counselling session, where she made some links to that service.
