Bring Peace Home for Families in Crisis

When Shanelle escaped domestic violence with her children and mother, she showed incredible courage. But that brave choice led to 100 nights in a cramped motel room - four people, one uncertain future.

"In that motel room, I couldn't see a way forward. Every day felt like survival mode."

Through Anglicare's holistic support, Shanelle's family found more than just housing - they brought peace home.

Today, her teenage daughter is completing TAFE online in her own quiet room, while her toddler plays in the yard. Shanelle's mother with early-stage dementia has space and care in their multigenerational home. And Shanelle even started a support group for other local women rebuilding their lives.

"I finally feel a deep peace."
