Lorna

Hello.. 😊 I’m a 44-year-old woman looking for a single person only studio, granny flat, 1bedroom flat or micro-apartment literally almost anywhere within the Brisbane region. I am happy to go where ever the perfect little dream solo home takes me & start the next chapter of my life journey.

I love to clean my house & reorganise my belongings as often as required. You will never have to worry come house inspection time your pride & joy investment property will be in pristine condition at all times whether your were scheduled or just happened to pop by it would always be in immaculate condition. I am like a yogi on a mountain top meditating with a fresh bottle of Ajax spray & wipe, some nicely chosen cleaning wipes, and my stick vacuum cleaner along with custom handle extension spin mop. I absolutely love it. Nothing relaxes & clears my mind more than stopping what ever I am doing and doing a spot clean to reset. I love living in a clean, calm, peaceful environment. It makes me my internal system feel calm and centred. I will treat your tiny home like a palace & my sanctuary. I am looking to put down longterm roots in the right home. Starting with a 6-12month lease minimum with the intention of being an ongoing reliable, quiet, respectful, by far there will never be a cleaner more hygienic tenant you will approve. I don’t watch TV or really even listen to music except meditation & calming music at a low volume. I do not intend on having any strange guest over, or getting into any type of situationship or relationship until I am 50yrs old haha and even then it will most probably be with another senior rescue dog. I love my own company & I have my own brand new Q-size bed and desk ready to go with luxury linen and quilts. Love oil infusers, mood lighting & journaling. I am on a healing & rediscovery journey of self.

I am well past my party days that is for certain. Honestly I don’t really go out other than to a nice cafe for breakfast for a great eggs Benny or a lovely dinner on occasions. I would always choose quiet night In surrounded by relaxing with a peaceful, low-key vibe energy over a night out on the town every night of my life. I am a bit of a lone wolf who is very selective with whom I choose to open up and share my time and self with..

Please note the following information and please do not let this be the determining factor. I am not your typical case / text book case I promise. As of August 7th, 2025 this year my claim was approved & was placed on a permanent Disability Support Pension pension as of August 2025 within 7days. I experienced a significant brain injury called “Split Brain Syndrome” on 08/06/2025 due to Trauma from extensive family & domestic violence. Basically our brain is made up of two neurologically connected hemispheres which need each other to communicate & as result provide the average person with the required capacity to function at what would be considered an average and or normal level. My neurological connections were literally severed in half on my elderly Mother’s 80th birthday and the only two medical causes for such an brain injury to occur are two major causes the first being a Stroke and the second is Pure Trauma. Which is what my permanent diagnosis was caused by. There are no other medical conditions that can cause the brain to be severed like this and I literally felt it happen in the exact moment. Prior to this I worked as a Residential Youth Worker for vulnerable teenagers who were wards of the state for over 5yrs with a Diploma in Youth Work and my Blue Card to work with Children only expired 26/10/2025. I then left that role to take on Full time solo care of my elderly Mother’s who had developed dementia and could no longer drive and take care of herself on a Carers Pension since January 2024. Eventually with the refusal of support from my much older siblings & their strict conditions to my care provisions regarding lawful respite denied & no help I finally burnt out. Unfortunately my siblings instead of helping me with a genuine medical emergency & a request for one weeks respite to assist me with my first experience of grief and loss, having to put my beautiful boy Jarwun down on the morning of his 14th birthday and then directly after the worst moment of my life I experienced the complete emotional abandonment from long term qualified Social Worker partner of 18yrs and my soon to be fiancé who I had Already purchased the ring and got the tattoo and then to finish off the worst day ever I went home to care for Mum however.. My mother had bolt locked herself inside the house and me outside the house with no way of getting out or letting me in this all happened within the space of 17hours. I began the difficult and hardest decision ever to begin the process of putting my Mum in fulltime care within 6months as her care needs were rapidly declining. My mother has threatened all of us especially me since I was 3yrs old if I ever put her in a home “she would sit on the end of my bed as a ghost for the rest of my life and I would never get another peaceful nights sleep again” on June 3rd @8am I tried to explain why the TV wasn’t working to Mum and she just stared at me blankly and I literally collapsed and she just sat there in silence emotionless while I had a complete breakdown. I got up off the ground after what I imagined must of been almost 5minutes and immediately called Alzheimers QLD respite where Mum had previously spent 3nights just the week before. I rang the manager directly and explained my situation and Mums eligibility for respite funding had reset so I told Mum I will get everything organised you just have your toast and I am taking you to respite. My immediate concerns upon arrival were for my Mother with dementia first & foremost before I was taken into the Managers office. It was going to cost just under $8,000 for another 4days next week so I called my Brother sobbing, crying, begging and he tried to palm it onto my other brother. Long story short I have never seen my Mother since, my Brothers have never again recognised me as ever even existing let alone being part of the family. They burnt me to the ends of the earth for telling them they had to help with Mum for a week with 5 and 1/2days notice. They took $750,000 secured inheritance from me + an guarantee I could live in the $1.6million property for 5yrs once Mum passed and it could not be accessed or sold by anyone else in the family without my written consent 1minute before that 5yr mark. I found out last month via the local realestate my siblings convinced my demented mother to sell the property for $1.5 million that has been in the family handed down since 1914. They took everything and got me legally (civil not criminally outstered from the house I had lived in for 43yrs with my Mum. I have been living in private Airbnb or Hotel / Motels for exactly four months today 30/10/25 and have exhausted all my finances paying minimum $950 a fortnight for the last below par to say the least place in share accommodation to receive $215.75 a fortnight in rent assistance. I just want my own little place to make into a home, a safe space where I can just have a few simple items (it’s all about the little things for me) I can turn anything into a dream place for myself with the most minimal items.

I really love to show others my value system which is based & driven purely out of human kindness, energetic pure connections, just having a genuine moment with someone no matter if it’s a random phone call with an Airbnb ambassador on 04/09/25 @11am that ended up being one of the most impactful & beautiful conversations I have ever shared with a complete stranger & we just opened up & we gave each other more than all the money in the world can ever buy someone. Moments such as these in my darkest days are the light that keeps me shining true to my essence. Money is great but what I value is far more significant. Making someone feel like the most important, precious, valued, adored & beautiful human being in existence for that moment we are connected is a gift I love to give another. Kindness is everything & I love treating others with respect, dignity, non judgmental open mindedness & a true curiosity to understand someone & what makes them their unique selves.

I am in the final stages of completing my documentation for NDIS life long support. I am fully physically functioning no mobility issues, I have a wonderful long term medical team & new NDIS support service. My main issue is comprehending information after my brain injury especially when it is verbally communicated and I am required to reply or try to explain my point or reasoning in reciprocation verbally. I am much more coherent & concise in the written form via text or email as you can probably tell by this eloquent personal statement I have written this morning. However verbally I do struggle to be able to get others to understand / comprehend my point as well as take a very longtime trying to explain myself. I am unsure of how to engage with others due to my family trauma and break down of significant relationships in my life. I much prefer to write and journal express myself with written words. I am happy and comfortable with my own company I have a large family however there are significant age gaps between my siblings so I grew up like an only child. I have many tools to help myself and have spent many hours on the couch of my Clinical Private Psychiatrist and Psychologist for over 12yrs, completed extensive training in my trauma informed work place and relevant studies and undertaken extensive self work and personal recovery. I am a genuine, loyal, honest to a fault person ( I cannot even scan the wrong type of tomato at the self serve to save a few cents it will eat away at my clean conscience) I have a strong self morals and values system and even in these situations I always if nothing else maintain my personal high standards of integrity as a person. I have been dealt a terrible hand in life without consent nor choice yet I still possess a heart full of love, kindness, and compassion no matter what it is who I am.

I have pre-approval for a bond loan as well as a rental grant to pay the first two weeks rent in advance in full through rent connect already in place - paper work on hand and with some basic real estate information and a lease agreement all payments can be organised and made to the RTA and the rent paid with maximum of 72hours from lodgement. I am ready to move literally anywhere in Brisbane basically. A quiet peaceful suburb near the water would be a dream but I am honestly not phased just looking for a home to finally rest, relax, recover, and rediscover well actually self discover “ME” for the first time ever. I just need one kind and willing human to recognise another pure human and give me a chance. I have a guaranteed income for the rest of my life. I will receive $215.75 per fortnight in rent assistance & my income will increase $125.70 as of 16/01/26 + NDIS funding. I am happy to provide any documentation required to support my application as I don’t have a rental history due to always caring for my mother from a very young age and grew up in Bulimba 4171

I hope you take the time to read my very personal and real introduction and story in relation to the urgent need to acquire and sustain long term tenancy regardless of NDIS packaging I wish to always live independently and perhaps in 4-5yrs maybe get a support Dog? Thats all. No partner, no drop ins, happy to be a part of the community / complex etc.. a good old fashioned neighbour that says good morning and helps a neighbour in need should it be required.

Please shoot me a direct text if you like my profile to ask any questions and for a much more clear response text is a better start but also happy to chat on the phone prior to arranging a meet & greet etc at a pre-arranged time.

Have a spectacular day and I hope to hear from you soon my new landlord.

Warmest regards,
Lorna
