About

Christina’s Journey to Social Housing

โ€œI was born in Argentina and life was very hard in those days. We apply to come to Australia and in 1980 we arrived in Australia.โ€

โ€œA while ago my marriage broke up and I was left with nothing. My biggest concern was to find accommodation.โ€

โ€œI got really sick due to my condition and I couldnโ€™t work anymore. Not everybody can afford to live in their own place, due to the circumstances can change.โ€œ

โ€œWhen I had my interview with Wentworth, they didnโ€™t discriminate against me, they accepted me. It made me feel really good and comfortable about myself.โ€

โ€œWentworth gave me a call to show me a place in Penrith. I said Iโ€™ll take it and moved in. And then to my surprise was the kind of people that were in community housing, they were really nice people and I developed a big nice friendship.โ€

โ€œAt the moment itโ€™s a hobby but I would like to be a 3D artist, the last two years I got really stuck into it. With the other place I couldnโ€™t do that because I didnโ€™t have room to put my computer so this place has been like a blessing to me.โ€
