TANIA'S STORY
Raising a teenage son and younger twin daughters on her own, Tania’s finances have been stretched due to the continued cost-of-living crisis and its devastating and unrelenting impacts for families. Following a notification to vacate their rental property, it was then Vinnies stepped in to help. “Vinnies go above and beyond; they’ve gotten to know me and I’m so grateful.”
The escalation in food prices has seen a shocking number of people struggling and experiencing food stress.
Your gift can help make sure Vinnies is there to support people in need, every step of the way.
"To be able to cook my little grandchildren the nutritious meals they need, and to see them enjoying that little bit extra – like a hot chocolate and snacks for school… means the world to me," says Linda.
LUKE'S STORY
Luke and Colin were living in rented accommodation, until the place was sold out from under them. Even though Luke was working five days a week in a bakery, he just couldn’t find another place they could afford. Luke and Colin, along with their beloved dog, Ruby, went from living in one unsafe boarding house to another. After being turned away from countless rentals who would not allow Ruby and moved on from abandoned buildings, they were forced to live in a tent.
TED'S STORY
"The beauty of the arrangement is that I go into the local shop that sells school uniforms with my children and get all their measurements, then I go back later by myself to meet the St Vincent de Paul Society volunteer and he pays for them – so my kids are none the wiser."
ANNA'S STORY
