2025 Tropical Cyclone Alfred
Christmas 2025
55-year-old First Nations woman caring for four children, experiencing significant financial and emotional hardship. Her home burned down in 2019, and she continues to struggle with the lasting trauma. Cyclone Alfred caused further loss, with much of her furniture damaged by mould. Due to limited finances, she is still using mould-affected towels and blankets and lacks basic household items such as tables and chairs. She can only afford basic groceries fortnightly and faces ongoing expenses including car registration. She supports four young children full-time and also assists her other children when able. She has been attending multiple funerals recently, including travelling to three in one week, adding to her emotional strain. Despite trying to save, she is struggling to afford essentials and Christmas gifts for her children. Any support would be greatly appreciated.
