Flood affected pensioner with disability struggling financially
My client is an older pensioner with a disability. He volunteers 4 days a week and passionately contributes to his community. He is going through ongoing cancer treatment as well as supporting his close friend who also has cancer, and was affected by the 2022 floods, losing all his possessions. On top of this, he experienced fence damage from Tropical Cyclone Alfred resulting in expensive repairs required.
This gentleman has also recently experienced multiple incidents of willful damage and is feeling unsafe in his home. He is unable to afford security cameras to assist in giving him peace of mind.
My client is experiencing significant economic hardship with the rising cost of living. He does not like to ask for help however is currently facing a situation where he feels he has few other options.
