Meet Lindsey - a young mum with recent lived experience of homelessness

After growing up in a Christian family in America, Lindsey sought connection to her Native lineage & a broader sense of the world through travelling & humanitarian work overseas. She arrived in Australia in 2012, eventually falling pregnant in a domestic violent relationship in 2020 and fled to the Sunshine Coast just before giving birth. Lindsey experienced ongoing housing insecurity while also being welcomed and supported by the local community. She is gratefully building a new life for herself & her child.
