Hi there!
I'm Lucie, and here, I'll be sharing my journey of overcoming domestic violence and navigating complex immigration challenges in Australia after separation.
From what I have witnessed over the years I can assure you that more people around you than you realize are in or have been in a similar vulnerable position. By being informed of the challenges others may be facing, I believe we can be better prepared and equipped to be supportive friends and community members.
My intentions are geared towards individual and collective healing, which involves not only supporting victims of domestic abuse but also integrating accountability and rehabilitation for perpetrators.
I believe in the power of restorative justice to create sustainable change, and through this platform, I hope to encourage others to explore what works best for them, while highlighting the importance of community support and belonging.
So stick around!
It's going to be an interesting ride haha ;)
COMING SOON *
I'm in the middle of Ministerial intervention and lost work rights at the end of 2023. It's been a downfall since. It's taking me a long time to accept receiving support from others as I had a hard time communicating for months. A handful of people in my close proximity have offered practical help and support.
I'm currently homeless and in limbo between a shelter offered in Byron Bay until mid September and being hosted by a family in the hinterland. Resources comes and go and the weekly food donation system at The Liberation Larder have been incredibly helpful this last few months.
Your contribution enable me to live with decency while allowing me some time to recover and regain capacity to advocate for myself during the Ministerial Intervention processing time, cover medical expenses and contribute to advocating for others that may have a lesser capacity than me.
PERSONAL SUPPORT *
Be the first one to know when this space is launched! See you soon ;)
