Maddi, now in her 20s, has experienced several instances of homelessness, starting at age 13. Most recently, she and her young son were left without a home after a relationship broke down. With support from Anglicare Southern Queensland, she transitioned from having no home, to living in temporary crisis accommodation, to being settled in permanent housing while studying a social work degree at QUT in Brisbane. She is a proud Aboriginal woman from the Juru mob within the Birri Gubba nation, and plans to work as an advocate for Aboriginal peoples when she graduates.
