Recipient story
Following the Harcourt fires, an older adult faces ongoing hardship, managing loss, poor health, and rebuilding alone
2026 Victoria Bushfires
An older adult in a regional community has been significantly impacted by recent bushfires, experiencing property loss and ongoing disruption. While their home remained, essential infrastructure and animals were lost, creating emotional distress and practical challenges that continue to affect daily life.
Living on a limited income, they have worked hard to begin recovery but face ongoing financial strain. The cost of rebuilding has stretched their resources, making it difficult to regain stability.
They also live with chronic health conditions that affect mobility and independence. At times, their condition makes it challenging to complete everyday tasks, increasing their vulnerability.
The combined impact of disaster, financial hardship, and declining health has made recovery overwhelming, and additional support would provide meaningful relief.
