Recipient story
Struggling financially after Cyclone Alfred damage and injury. Needs support with groceries.
2025 Tropical Cyclone Alfred
GIVIT
A man living in Tweed Heads South is experiencing financial hardship after his home was damaged during Cyclone Alfred. A tree fell on the pergola attached to his unit, which he uses for storage, causing significant roof leaks. Continued wet weather has worsened the damage, and with water coming in, he now has buckets placed throughout the area. He is working to relocate items into a storage shed while repairs are arranged. He has been unable to work since a back injury in 2022 and now relies on the Disability Support Pension. He remains on pain medication costing $450 per month. He is behind on his child support payments and struggling to make ends meet finanically. Any assistance with grocery vouchers would offer meaningful relief and help him stabilise his situation during this difficult time.
