When my team first met Carol, she had been living alone in a small room above a local pub for months. Carol was eligible for public housing and was desperately waiting for a permanent home – but she didn't think it would take this long.

Many women like Carol are thrown into uncertainty after an unexpected event later in life. With little to no superannuation to rely on, a sudden health crisis or death of a love one can push them to the brink of homelessness.
These women urgently need your help, Nav.
Thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, we were able to step in and offer Carol the support network she needed most. Sadly, there are many more older women in need of support.
