‘I’m no longer homeless.’

Mission Australia was there when Roxy needed help getting her life on track. 

Roxy began 2021 living in a tent behind a community centre in Coffs Harbour, NSW.  Separated from her children, she was addicted to painkillers and everything she owned was in plastic bags.  Fast forward and Roxy’s life has changed beyond recognition.  

‘I decided I was going to live, not just exist,’ says Roxy.  

'This time last year I had nothing.  Now I have two-bedroom home, a yard-filled with frangipanis, a puppy and my children spent Christmas in my new home'

'I cried when I was given the keys.  I can look at myself in the mirror again and be proud.’
