This inspirational member of our community learned the value of money from her Grandmother who budgeted every dollar of her Centrelink pension. The father of her child left when she was 23 years old and seven and a half months pregnant, so after he was born she moved to an Aboriginal community for work. With her living expenses heavily subsidised she was able to purchase her own home at 26 years old all by herself! We can't wait for you to meet her.
