Loma Bropho, a Noongar and Yamatji woman from Perth, has been facing the harrowing reality of homelessness for the past two years. She has exhausted every possible option to secure a rental property, but her efforts have repeatedly met with rejection. The family's living situation has left her and her children sleeping in their car or relying on relatives for shelter, resulting in a cycle of anxiety and emotional distress.

With her current temporary accommodation in a hotel funded by crisis care nearing its end, Bropho expresses deep concern for her children's mental wellbeing. The uncertainty of their situation weighs heavily on her, creating a feeling of helplessness that she describes as being dropped into a 'big bowl of karma.' Her story sheds light on the broader issue of housing insecurity faced by many families, particularly those from marginalized communities.

The ongoing housing crisis in Australia exacerbates the challenges for individuals like Bropho, who are seeking not just a physical roof over their heads, but a stable environment for their children to grow in. Her plight serves as a reminder of the urgent need for effective housing policies and community support systems to address the increasing rates of homelessness and housing instability in urban areas.
