Recipient story
TC Alfred affected family, experiencing economic hardship due to cyclone impact, unemployment & car accident expenses.
Flooding 2022
GIVIT
2025 Tropical Cyclone Alfred
Family were impacted by 2022 where much of their household items and white goods were damaged and have never been replaced due to then living on a bus. Family have moved into a small cabin & are in need of fridge & washing machine.
The family do not have extended family in the area so lack support. Father recently lost his job and is looking for new work. Due to their car being involved in an accident, they're currently working to pay off loans they had to take out to pay for the associated costs, which is putting additional strain on them financially. Family were only able to receive one Centrelink grant to cover costs of to replace mould affected bedding and clothing. Family have been referred to local food bank but due to living more remotely the cost of fuel makes it difficult to access food support. Family are struggling to cover essential costs such as food due to current circumstances. Seeking support for a grocery voucher to help get them through this challenging period.
