50 year old gentleman seeking financial support for everyday expenses as he attempts to rebuild his life.
Resident lost his home in the 2022 flood event, followed in quick succession by the loss of both parents, and eventually employment. The compounding trauma from these events took a significant toll on his mental health, and left him homeless and couch surfing, and eventually struggling an AOD battle. In his words he “hit rock bottom’. As a result, he never engaged or accessed flood recovery assistance.
After a frightening health scare, my client had a pivotal wakeup call and has been working hard to rebuild his life. For the first time in 2 years, he has a place to call home, gained employment, rejoined church, and the local football club.
Despite his best efforts, the cost of bond, and setting up an apartment, has left a huge hole in his finances, and the fear of losing what he has worked hard for is real. Any assistance with groceries would be extremely impactful, and greatly appreciated.
