Stories
“My wife passed away very suddenly. Then on top of that, I was told by housing I wasn’t allowed to stay in the house anymore as I didn’t co-sign the lease with her,” says Ross. “I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.”
Ross was at his breaking point when someone suggested he visit the ADRA Community Care Centre in Macquarie Fields. There, Ross began working with one of the counsellors, who helped him face the trauma of losing his wife. He also accessed subsidised food hampers and, with the help of the ADRA staff and volunteers at the Centre, was able to secure his housing tenancy—which was a huge relief.
Ross’ spirits began to lift. He was learning to process his grief, he had food security, and he began to feel a sense of community through the friendships he formed with the ADRA volunteers at the Centre. “My head’s in a much, much better place now and life’s quite good.”
